Tempesta FW is a hybrid solution that combines a reverse proxy and a firewall at the same time. It accelerates Web applications and protects them against DDoS attacks and Web application attacks.

Tempesta FW is built into Linux TCP/IP stack for better and more stable performance characteristics in comparison with TCP servers on top of common Socket API or even kernel sockets.

We do our best to keep the kernel modifications as small as possible. Current patch is just about 2,000 lines.

We're in alpha state for now. The alpha is available by:

• source code
• binary packages
• installation script

The master branch is unstable and contains code for upcoming beta.

Please see our Wiki for following topics:

• Design description
• System requirements
• Installation procedures
• Configuration guide
• Use cases
• Performance benchmarks
