Your servers already run your stack. Soon, they'll defend it too.
We're building a Web Application Firewall directly into MaxPlane. No third-party plugins, no separate dashboard, no extra billing. WAF protection managed right where you manage everything else.
Why This Matters
If you're running a web application in production, you're a target. SQL injection, cross-site scripting, credential stuffing, bot abuse, layer 7 DDoS. These aren't hypothetical risks. They're Tuesday.
Most server management platforms leave security to you. You end up stitching together ModSecurity rulesets, reverse proxy configs, or paying for a separate WAF service that lives outside your workflow. That's friction you shouldn't have to deal with.
MaxPlane's WAF will sit natively inside your server management workflow. Toggle it on per site. Configure rules. Monitor blocked requests. All from the same panel where you deploy your apps.
What to Expect
One-click activation per site. No manual rule file editing, no SSH required.
Managed rulesets covering the OWASP Top 10 out of the box. Protection against injection attacks, XSS, path traversal, and more, without writing a single rule.
Custom rules for when you need granular control. Block by IP, geo, request pattern, rate limit. Your server, your rules.
Real-time logging so you can see what's getting blocked and why. No black box.
Zero performance tax on your workflow. WAF runs at the server level. No external proxy rerouting your traffic through someone else's network.
Fits Right Into Your Stack
MaxPlane already handles PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, Bun, and Docker on a single VM. WAF extends that same philosophy: everything you need to run and protect your applications, in one place, on your own infrastructure.
Whether you're managing one server or fifty, WAF will be available across all plans.
Timeline
WAF is in active development. We'll share more details, including early access, in the coming weeks. If you want to be first in line, keep an eye on your MaxPlane dashboard and our updates here.
