Protected GRE and BGP transit through NorthShield edge

Remote Protection

Protected transit over GRE, IPIP, and BGP.

Clean traffic is delivered over GRE or IPIP tunnels with BGP on our anycast network. Announce your prefixes, bring your own IP or ASN, and keep attack volume off your upstream.

Traffic path

From your network to a filtered edge — then clean delivery back.

Remote Protection is a routing path, not a port ACL. Prefixes ride our anycast fabric; attack volume never reaches your tunnel endpoint.

01

Your network

Prefixes, ASN, and endpoints stay under your control.

02

GRE / IPIP tunnel

Encrypted handoff to the nearest NorthShield PoP.

03

Protected edge

3Tbps+ XDP scrub across London, Frankfurt, and Istanbul.

04

Clean delivery

Only legitimate traffic reaches your tunnel endpoint.

PoP termination

Three edges. One protected fabric.

Terminate GRE or IPIP at the PoP closest to your infrastructure. BGP announcements and scrub capacity are available at every location.

Capabilities

What you get on the protected path.

Tunnel connectivity, prefix control, and edge filtering — engineered for operators who announce their own space.

GRE and IPIP tunnels

Connect your infrastructure over GRE or IPIP for protected transit and stable handoff to your endpoint.

BGP route announcement

Announce prefixes through our protected fabric so traffic stays inside the mitigation path.

BYOIP

Keep your own addresses on the protected edge without changing how customers reach your services.

BYOAS

Announce your ASN when routing design requires autonomous-system-level ownership.

Filtered before handoff

Attack volume is dropped at our edge — your tunnel and upstream stay clear during events.

Documented onboarding

Tunnel parameters, BGP policy, failover, and escalation paths are locked before cutover.

Bring your own

Keep your IPs and ASN. Change the path they take.

BYOIP and BYOAS let you present the same service identity while traffic is scrubbed on NorthShield before it reaches you.

BYOIP

Bring your own IP addresses

Announce your prefixes on our protected edge without renumbering services or changing how players, customers, or partners reach you.

BYOAS

Bring your own ASN

Keep ASN-level routing ownership when your design requires it — with sessions and communities documented before production cutover.

Onboarding

Four steps from design to live prefixes.

Share your ranges and tunnel preference. We engineer the path, validate announcements, and cut over with clear escalation.

Plan BGP protection
01

Share prefixes, ASN requirements, and preferred tunnel type.

02

Establish GRE or IPIP to the nearest PoP.

03

Announce IP space with BGP on the protected fabric.

04

Receive clean traffic with NOC-backed escalation paths.

  • GRE and IPIP tunnel provisioning
  • BGP session and prefix policy
  • BYOIP onboarding and validation
  • BYOAS routing review
  • Protected path engineering
  • Failover and handoff planning
  • Attack event summaries
  • Routing change documentation

Announce your prefixes through a protected edge.

Share your IP ranges, ASN requirements, tunnel preferences, and traffic profile. We will design the right GRE, IPIP, and BGP protection path.
