Cloudbric

Overview

Cloudbric is a cloud security platform spanning managed web and API protection, cloud-provider WAF management, and security apps, alongside a separate consumer VPN. It is strongest for organizations seeking managed application security and AWS WAF tooling; its VPN is a more straightforward option for people who want encrypted connections across several devices.

Its products address different jobs rather than forming one uniform package: WAF+ protects web applications and APIs, WMS manages cloud WAFs, and Managed Rules extend AWS WAF. That breadth is useful when a buyer needs several of those capabilities, but the products have separate pricing models and should be evaluated independently.

Key features

Managed application protection

WAF+ combines web application and API protection with DDoS mitigation, bot control, malicious IP blocking, and SSL/TLS certificates. Deployment requires a DNS change, not agent or module installation, and the maker says it can run alongside an existing CDN. That makes it a plausible fit for sites seeking managed protection without installing security software. A one-month free proof of concept is available for one domain, so it offers a bounded way to assess the service before committing. WAF+ also includes 24/7 technical support.

Cloud WAF management and rules

WMS manages AWS WAF, and cloud-provider WAF management can include AWS and Microsoft Azure. Cloudbric Managed Rules are offered through AWS Marketplace for use with AWS WAF Web ACLs. Their coverage includes OWASP Top 10, malicious IPs, APIs, bots, Tor and anonymous IPs, and invalid HTTP protocol requests. The breadth is relevant to teams wanting expert-optimized rule coverage, but detailed rule contents such as regex patterns and IP lists are not disclosed, which limits a buyer’s ability to inspect the rule logic in advance.

The WMS console analyzes web ACL logs from the previous three months. Its service-level agreement sets monthly availability at 99.95% or above, and 99.99% for ADDoS. Those commitments may matter to teams evaluating operational continuity, though they do not replace checking whether the service’s scope and custom pricing fit their requirements.

VPN

Cloudbric VPN says it follows a strict no-log policy and encrypts internet traffic while active. Plus adds global server access, WireGuard, and up to 10 simultaneous connections; the free tier is limited to servers in selected locations, standard encryption, and one connection. That makes Free a narrow way to try the service, while Plus is the practical choice for users needing broader access or several devices.

Pricing

Cloudbric’s WAF and WMS products use custom pricing, while the VPN has published free and paid plans. WAF+ is priced by FQDN and includes a one-month free proof of concept for one domain. WMS SaaS is usage-based and billed through AWS Marketplace; it includes security rules optimized by experts, a dedicated console, and security reports. WMS Enterprise uses contract-based pricing with flexible billing and 24/7 support in Korean, English, and Japanese. Buyers should match the FQDN or usage model to expected scope before comparing costs.

The annual Plus plan lowers the monthly equivalent compared with paying month to month, but requires an annual bill of $24.99. Both paid plans include the same connection limit and money-back guarantee; Free gives up global server access and WireGuard and allows only one connection.

Platforms

Cloudbric’s platform coverage includes Android, API, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. VPN support is narrower in its minimum requirements: Windows 10 64-bit and macOS Monterey 12 on desktop, Android 7.0 and iOS 17 on mobile. Check those thresholds before choosing the VPN for older devices.

Who it's for

Cloudbric is best suited to organizations seeking managed web and API security, especially those that want DNS-based WAF deployment or AWS WAF management and rules. Its VPN can suit individuals or households wanting up to 10 connections on Plus, with a free tier for one connection and selected server locations. It is less suitable for buyers who need transparent upfront pricing for enterprise security or detailed visibility into Managed Rules before adoption.

Pros and cons

• Pro: WAF+ bundles web and API protection, DDoS mitigation, bot control, malicious IP blocking, certificates, and 24/7 support, reducing the need to source these capabilities separately.
• Pro: DNS-based deployment avoids agent or module installation and is compatible with an existing CDN, useful for sites that want to retain their current delivery setup.
• Pro: VPN Plus supports global servers, WireGuard, and up to 10 simultaneous connections, with both monthly and annual payment options.
• Con: WAF+ and WMS use FQDN, usage-based, or contract pricing rather than published prices, making direct budget comparison harder.
• Con: Managed Rules’ detailed patterns and IP lists are not disclosed, restricting pre-purchase inspection of exactly what the rules contain.
• Con: The VPN Free tier has selected-location servers, standard encryption, and only one simultaneous connection, so it is limited for multi-device use.

Alternatives

For a different fit, consider Web Application Firewall Software to compare options across the category. BitNinja offers a freemium entry point and a free VPS plan capped at 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, and 10 hosted users, which may suit a small VPS deployment. Fastly Image Optimizer is an image-optimization option rather than a direct WAF substitute. BunkerWeb offers an AGPLv3 open-source WAF for self-hosted deployments, a better fit for teams that want to run an open-source option themselves. Gcore WAAP has a free tier for one domain and 0.5M requests, with default rules and quota overage priced at €2/1M, which may suit a buyer seeking a quota-based published entry tier. Haltdos offers a free Community WAF for one website and one security profile, as well as a Professional WAF at $30 a month. Hide My WP Ghost is a freemium WordPress plugin with a free version and 115+ free security features, for WordPress-specific needs. ModSecurity is a free open-source WAF engine that runs as a web-server module, while OWASP Coraza WAF is a free Apache-2.0 option for self-hosted deployment.

Verdict

Choose Cloudbric when managed web and API protection, cloud WAF management, or a multi-device VPN matter more than having one simple, transparent price. WAF+’s broad protection and low-installation deployment are compelling for organizations willing to evaluate custom pricing, while VPN Plus has a clear feature and price trade-off. Look elsewhere if upfront WAF costs or detailed rule inspection are essential buying criteria.
