Cloudbric

Cloudbric is a cloud security platform for web application and API protection, cloud WAF management, and security apps, with a separate consumer VPN. It suits organizations seeking managed security and people who want a VPN across several devices. Its VPN pricing is clear; WAF+ and WMS require custom pricing.

Overview

Cloudbric brings WAAP and public-cloud security services together, but its products address different jobs. WAF+ provides managed web and API protection, WMS manages cloud-provider WAFs, and Managed Rules extend AWS WAF. The VPN is a separate product for encrypting internet traffic while connected.

WAF+ bundles a web application firewall and API protection with DDoS mitigation, bot control, malicious IP blocking, and SSL/TLS certificates. Deployment requires a DNS change rather than agent or module installation, and the maker says it can work alongside an existing CDN. That makes it a practical option for sites seeking managed protection without adding software to their servers; the one-domain proof of concept gives a limited way to evaluate it.

Key features

Managed protection and rules

WAF+ includes 24/7 technical support and a one-month free proof of concept for one domain. Cloudbric WMS manages AWS WAF, and the maker says its cloud-provider WAF management can include services such as AWS and Microsoft Azure. Cloudbric Managed Rules are also available through AWS Marketplace for association with AWS WAF Web ACLs. Coverage includes OWASP Top 10, malicious IPs, APIs, bots, Tor and anonymous IPs, and invalid HTTP protocol requests. The trade-off for packaged coverage is less visibility into the rule implementation: detailed Marketplace contents such as regex patterns and IP lists are not disclosed.

WMS provides web ACL log analysis for the previous three months, a useful window for reviewing recent activity but not a longer historical archive. Its service-level agreement sets monthly availability at 99.95% or above, rising to 99.99% for ADDoS.

VPN

Cloudbric VPN says it follows a strict no-log policy and encrypts internet traffic when active. Plus supports WireGuard, access to global servers, and up to 10 simultaneous connections, a generous device allowance for households or users with several devices. The free tier is much narrower: selected server locations, standard encryption, and one connection. Minimum OS versions matter too: Windows 10 64-bit, macOS Monterey 12, Android 7.0, or iOS 17.

Pricing

The paid pricing model applies to Cloudbric’s security services, while the VPN has a free entry plan. VPN Plus costs $2.08 a year as displayed, billed $24.99 per year, with the page also showing a $2.08 / month equivalent. It includes global servers, WireGuard, up to 10 simultaneous connections, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. The monthly option costs $4.99 a month for the same features and guarantee; it avoids an annual commitment but costs more over a year. The free plan costs nothing and limits users to selected locations, standard encryption, and one connection.

Cloudbric WAF+ uses custom pricing by FQDN and offers a one-month free PoC for one domain. Cloudbric WMS SaaS (Pay-as-you-Go) has custom pricing billed by usage through AWS Marketplace, with expert-optimized security rules, a dedicated console, and security reports. WMS Enterprise uses contract-based pricing with flexible billing and 24/7 support in Korean, English, and Japanese. These options suit organizations that need managed or cloud WAF services, but buyers seeking a fixed public price should look elsewhere.

Platforms

Cloudbric lists Android, iOS, macOS, web, Windows, and API support. VPN apps support Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS, subject to the minimum versions above. The deployment model is cloud, with managed rule sets, API protection, bot management, and rate limiting among its capabilities.

Who it's for

Cloudbric is strongest for organizations that want managed web and API protection without installing a WAF agent, or AWS customers looking to manage WAF rules and review recent ACL logs. The VPN can fit individuals or households needing a free starting tier or up to 10 Plus connections. It is a weaker fit for teams that require transparent rule contents, long-term log review, or a known WAF budget before engaging with sales.

Pros and cons

• Pros: WAF+ combines web and API defenses, DDoS mitigation, bot control, malicious IP blocking, certificates, and 24/7 support.
• Pros: DNS-based deployment avoids agent or module installation, and the maker says WAF+ can coexist with a CDN.
• Pros: VPN Plus offers 10 simultaneous connections and global servers, while a free plan provides a no-cost entry point.
• Cons: WAF+ and WMS have custom rather than published prices, making upfront budget comparison difficult.
• Cons: The VPN free tier allows only one connection and selected locations, and Plus requires supported OS versions.
• Cons: Managed Rules do not disclose detailed rule contents, and WMS log analysis covers only the previous three months.

Alternatives

For a broader shortlist, see Web Application Firewall Software. Choose BitNinja if a freemium, self-hosted option and its free VPS tier for systems up to 2 vCPU and 2 GB RAM better match your setup. Fastly Image Optimizer is a different kind of tool, focused on image requests, with a free allowance of 100,000 requests per month. Pick BunkerWeb if you want an AGPLv3 open-source WAF option. F5 BIG-IP APM is worth considering if you need a paid access-management product available across virtual, hardware, or hybrid environments. ModSecurity suits those seeking a free, open-source WAF engine that runs as a web-server module. SafeLine is another freemium web security and monitoring option. Wallarm API Security may fit API-focused teams: its free tier allows up to 500,000 requests per month and three users, while excluding vulnerability assessment and API Abuse Prevention. Gcore WAAP is a freemium alternative with a free tier for one domain and 0.5 million requests, plus default rules and no IP Firewall rules.

Verdict

Choose Cloudbric when managed WAF+ protection or AWS WAF management is more valuable than a published security-service price, or when a VPN with up to 10 Plus connections fits your devices. Its integrated protection and low-friction deployment are compelling; custom pricing for the business products and a tightly capped free VPN make it less suitable for buyers who need predictable WAF costs or broader free access.
