Real-time traffic protection that works with your existing Cloudflare setup
Hey folks,
I built Detect7 because I got frustrated dealing with the same problem over and over - small attacks and persistent bots hitting my websites that weren't big enough for Cloudflare to notice on its own.
The idea is simple: your web server sends its access logs to Detect7, and we analyze every single request in real time. When something looks off - an aggressive IP, a sudden traffic spike from an unusual country, a slow-ramp attack building up over hours - we handle it automatically through your Cloudflare firewall. Challenge first, block if the bad behavior continues.
Why I think this matters:
Most cloud protection only samples a tiny fraction of your traffic. Smaller attacks can fly under the radar for days. Detect7 checks 100% of requests, so nothing slips through.
Setup is minimal:
Two lines in your nginx config to forward logs. No DNS changes, no migration, no agents to install. Works with your existing Cloudflare integration.
What you get:
Real-time dashboard showing what's happening on your site
Automatic blocking - bad actors get dealt with while you sleep
Your site's traffic patterns are learned over time, so alerts are only for genuinely unusual activity
Full incident history written in plain English
I'd love any feedback - whether it's useful, what you'd change, what's missing. This has been a labor of love and I want to make it actually helpful for people running websites.
