What Can SecureLayer Do?

1. Edge-based protection and acceleration

SecureLayer places a protection and delivery layer in front of your website. Visitors first reach SecureLayer EDGE servers, which then forward requests to your original server, also known as the origin server.

• edge-based reverse proxy operation
• origin server shielding from direct public traffic
• HTTP/HTTPS traffic forwarding
• WebSocket support
• IPv6 and modern web protocol support
• multi-edge node delivery capability

2. Automated SSL certificate management

SecureLayer can automatically manage SSL certificates for websites. This helps make HTTPS connections safer and easier to operate.

• Let’s Encrypt SSL issuance
• automatic certificate synchronization to edge nodes
• SSL status monitoring
• certificate expiry tracking
• custom SSL certificate upload option
• managed and custom SSL mode support

3. Custom SSL certificate support

If a customer does not want to use an automatically issued certificate and already has their own SSL certificate, SecureLayer can manage that separately.

• upload custom certificate and private key
• activate custom SSL mode
• deploy certificates to edge nodes
• return to managed SSL mode after deletion
• automatic edge configuration regeneration

4. DNS management and domain routing

SecureLayer DNS features make it possible to manage the technical operation of a domain from one central system. This simplifies the administration of records, zones and security-related settings.

• DNS zone management
• A, AAAA, CNAME and other record management
• wildcard record support
• DNSSEC support direction
• recommended records for external DNS usage
• support for ACME validation-related settings

5. Origin management and load balancing

The system can handle multiple origin operating modes. This is useful when a website has multiple backend servers, or when failover to a backup server is important.

• single origin mode
• failover origin mode
• active-active origin operation
• origin port configuration
• primary and secondary origin support
• future health check-based automatic switching capability

6. Security headers and basic web protection

The SecureLayer edge layer can apply basic security headers and protection rules that may help reduce the risk of certain web-based attacks.

• security HTTP header configuration
• X-Frame-Options protection
• nosniff protection
• HSTS support
• basic rate limiting capabilities
• foundation for filtering suspicious traffic

7. SecureLayer Challenge / bot protection

SecureLayer’s own challenge system can help filter automated, suspicious or unwanted traffic. It can be especially useful for login pages, forms, API endpoints or websites under attack.

• custom challenge page
• smart, force and off challenge modes
• token-based validation
• domain allowlist
• site key and secret-based operation
• verification event logging
• usage that can be tied to plan limits

8. Acceleration and cache capabilities

SecureLayer’s architecture is suitable for introducing cache functions. The goal is to serve static assets and selected web responses faster from the edge layer.

• foundation for static content acceleration
• possibility to define cache rules
• planned host-based cache purge support
• cookie-based cache bypass capability
• future support for custom cache rules

Note: cache features can be expanded gradually. The core edge infrastructure required for this is already in place.

9. Monitoring and availability tracking

As part of the SecureLayer ecosystem, websites and services can also be monitored. This helps detect outages, slowdowns and SSL-related issues faster.

• HTTP/HTTPS availability checks
• status code monitoring
• response time measurement
• SSL expiry monitoring
• separate origin and edge status inspection
• logging of errors and slow responses
• preparation for alerting options

10. Logging and transparency

The system records important operations, making it easier for both customers and operators to follow what happened to a domain, SSL certificate or edge configuration.

• SSL issuance logs
• edge configuration events
• error messages and statuses
• certificate expiry information
• administrative events
• security events

11. Multi-user customer panel

SecureLayer aims to let customers manage their domains, services, SSL settings and security features from a central customer panel.

• customer account-based operation
• permission management
• admin and customer roles
• domain and service lists
• SSL status display
• action buttons and clear feedback

12. API and automation capabilities

SecureLayer’s architecture is suitable for future API-based control. This can be important for resellers, developers, hosting providers and larger customers.

• central control logic
• queue-based background operations
• automated edge configuration deployment
• automated SSL workflows
• DNS API integration capability
• future public API and integration options

13. Who is SecureLayer useful for?

SecureLayer is built for customers who need more than just hosting or a server. It provides an additional protection and management layer in front of their websites.

• business websites
• online stores
• agencies
• developers
• hosting providers
• SaaS platforms
• more critical online services

14. How is it different from regular hosting?

Traditional hosting usually only serves the website. SecureLayer, on the other hand, sits in front of the website and adds additional protection, SSL, DNS, monitoring and edge capabilities.

• not only serving, but also protection
• not only SSL, but SSL management
• not only DNS records, but DNS control
• not only logs, but security event tracking
• not only a website, but an edge-connected infrastructure

15. Current and expandable functions

SecureLayer is a continuously expandable platform. Several functions already have working foundations, while larger enterprise-level capabilities can be introduced gradually.

Existing or usable foundations

• edge reverse proxy
• Let’s Encrypt SSL automation
• custom SSL certificate management
• DNS management foundations
• origin mode management
• security header handling
• challenge / bot protection
• logging and status tracking
• monitoring integration direction

Under development or planned directions

• detailed cache engine
• cache purge functions
• advanced WAF rules
• detailed traffic analytics
• geo-based routing
• extended API access
• reseller and SaaS integrations

16. In short

SecureLayer is a Hungarian-developed edge and security platform that can be placed in front of websites to help manage traffic more securely, automate SSL certificates, control DNS, filter bot traffic and make operational processes more transparent.

It is not just a hosting service. It is a protection and control layer between your website and the internet.
