DDoS-Guard has introduced dCAPTCHA, a standalone service designed to protect websites from automated bot activity. The tool utilizes proprietary browser verification technology that the company has refined over three years within its own infrastructure to counter automated threats.
The service is intended for protecting specific user interactions, such as registration forms, feedback fields, and comment sections. It aims to mitigate risks to business logic, including mass account creation and the automated execution of resource-intensive operations.
The verification process is designed to minimize user friction. Upon clicking the widget, the system analyzes browser and request parameters, typically allowing legitimate users to pass without manual input. This approach is intended to maintain site conversion rates.
DDoS-Guard offers a free tier that includes up to 100,000 successful verifications per month. The pricing model is based solely on successful checks, meaning blocked automated requests do not incur costs for the client.
Once the monthly limit is reached, site owners can choose to either continue using the service with paid overages or configure the system to automatically allow requests without further verification.
