A project dedicated to provide DDoS protection with proof-of-work
PoW Shield provides DDoS protection on the OSI application layer by acting as a proxy that utilizes proof of work between the backend service and the end-user. This project aims to provide an alternative to general captcha methods such as Google’s ReCaptcha that has always been a pain to solve. Accessing a web service protected by PoW Shield has never been easier, simply go to the url, and your browser will do the rest of the verification automatically for you.
PoW Shield aims to provide the following services bundled in a single webapp / docker image:
proof of work authentication
ratelimiting and ip blacklisting
web application firewall
