Why Ant2Cloud?

❌ Problems with Global Cloud / SaaS

  • All traffic passes through overseas servers β€” data exposure risk
  • Monthly subscription fees that never end β€” expensive long-term
  • Dependent on Cloudflare, AWS, Azure β€” no data sovereignty
  • Internet outage β†’ Cloud down β†’ Business stops

Ant2 WAF β€” Enterprise-Grade Security

Ant2Cloud includes Ant2 WAF developed by Thai engineers β€” ANT2 Proxy Server meeting international standards.

3-Layer Defense β€” Unmatched at This Price

Layer 1 β†’ GeoIP Block    Block unwanted countries
Layer 2 β†’ IP Jail        Auto-capture attackers within 20 seconds
Layer 3 β†’ WAF Rules      Auto-detect SQLi, XSS, RCE, LFI

Real IP Detection β€” Always Identifies the True IP, Through Any Number of Layers

                               Analyzes and identifies true source IP
                               automatically β€” always

Ant2WAF always identifies the true IP of users or attackers, regardless of how many layers they go through β€” whether CDN, reverse proxy, load balancer, or firewall in between, Ant2WAF correctly identifies the real source IP.

  • βœ… Device IP hidden β€” attackers don’t know what to target for DDoS
  • βœ… GeoIP lookup works on true source IP β€” correct country even through proxy
  • βœ… IP Jail captures actual attacker β€” doesn’t accidentally jail CDN nodes
  • βœ… Block/Unblock targets real attacker IP, not intermediaries
  • βœ… Automatic β€” no additional configuration needed

GeoIP Country Filter β€” Serve Only the Countries You Want

Ant2Cloud supports Allow List or Block List at country level:

Allow List mode:  Allow TH only β†’ block all other countries βœ…
Block List mode:  Block CN, RU, KP β†’ allow all others βœ…
  • Configurable both per-host and global across all domains at once
  • GeoIP lookup is extremely fast β€” latency < 1ms per request β€” no performance impact
  • Second-layer cache β€” repeated requests respond even faster
  • Supports Cloudflare CDN β€” correctly separates user source IP from CDN node
  • Works with IP Jail immediately β€” block countries first, then jail remaining attackers

IP Jail β€” The Innovation That Makes the Difference

Most WAFs worldwide block based on rate (requests per minute)

Ant2 blocks based on WAF rule violation count β€” catching what others miss:

Attacker sends dangerous payload once every 30 seconds β†’ rate-based WAF won’t block β†’ Ant2 blocks after 10 violations regardless of how slow the attack is

Huawei Cloud WAF β€” SSE Streaming Issue (issue detected Mar 2026)

Huawei Cloud WAF has issues with SSE (Server-Sent Events) β€” technology used in AI chat, live dashboards, and real-time notifications

Root Cause: Huawei WAF operates as a proxy that buffers responses before forwarding to clients β€” but SSE is a stream with no end. The WAF waits for buffering to complete β†’ it never completes.

IssueSymptom
Response bufferingSSE events don’t reach client in real-time β€” stuck waiting
Connection timeoutWAF cuts long-lived connections prematurely
Chunked transferDestroys streaming β€” events arrive in batches instead

Real-world Impact:

  • AI chat application β†’ screen freezes, no character streaming
  • Live dashboard β†’ data doesn’t update until forced reconnection
  • Notification system β†’ notifications arrive in delayed batches
