Deflect is an open source service protecting NGOs, activist and independent media companies from DDoS attacks. Similar to a commercial CDN, it uses distributed reverse-proxy caching and also hides your server IP addresses and blocks public access to admin URLs. Particular effort is put in to combat the botnets typically used for extrajudicial censoring of independent voices.
