📄 Editorial Review

HyperFilter is a specialized DDoS protection, hosting, and network-security provider operated by FNX Tecnologia LTDA, also known as FNXTEC. Its DDoS engineering activity dates back to 2011, giving it a long history in a field where many hosting companies added mitigation only later as an additional service. The company is much more focused on keeping Internet-facing infrastructure reachable during attacks than on competing as a conventional low-cost hosting provider.

The protection platform works in an Always On model, keeping filtering continuously active instead of waiting for an attack before redirecting traffic. Layer 3 and Layer 4 attacks are handled at network level, while Layer 7 protection is also available for websites and web applications. Protection capacity reaches 2,000 Gbps / 2 Tbps on several services, with attack reports, application-aware filtering, customized rules and protection profiles for workloads such as games, DNS, SIP and voice applications.

Dedicated Servers are among the most interesting services. The server range combines ASRock, Dell and HPE/HP hardware, including newer AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, AMD EPYC 4465P and AMD EPYC 7763 configurations. Systems can reach 512 GB RAM, SSD or NVMe storage and 1 or 2 Gbps connectivity depending on the configuration. DDoS protection is available up to 2 Tbps, while custom filtering can be adapted to games, voice applications and other attack-sensitive services. Windows is also available on supported configurations without an additional license fee. Normal provisioning is within several days rather than instant deployment.

DDoS Protected Web Hosting combines traditional Linux shared hosting with the same security-oriented infrastructure. Packages range from smaller 5 GB accounts up to 75 GB storage, while monthly traffic allowances run from 100 GB to 5 TB. Resources are assigned by package rather than hidden behind an unlimited-use policy, making CPU and memory limits easier to understand. The hosting environment includes cPanel, CloudLinux, KernelCare, multiple PHP versions, unlimited domains and subdomains, FTP accounts, email accounts and MySQL databases. MSSQL support is also included in the hosting specifications. Free migration from another cPanel account is available, and AutoSSL handles free SSL certificate installation.

HWP – Hyper Web Protection provides remote protection for websites that remain hosted elsewhere. A protected HyperFilter IP sits in front of the origin server, receives incoming traffic first and forwards legitimate requests to the real website. This makes it possible to use HyperFilter's network without migrating the actual hosting environment. Standard, Advanced and Professional packages include 10 TB, 20 TB and 30 TB of clean traffic, together with two, four or eight load balancers and SSL support for increasing numbers of domains. SuperCache and Layer 7 GET/POST filtering are also part of the service.

HPP – Hyper Protected Port applies the same remote-protection concept to TCP applications rather than conventional websites. It can protect services such as game servers, FTP, mail and other client/server applications by placing a filtered public IP in front of the original server. Packages include 10 TB, 20 TB or 30 TB of clean traffic and are available through Amsterdam and São Paulo. HPP is intended for application traffic and therefore differs from HWP, which also includes website-oriented Layer 7 filtering.

HTS – Network Protection is aimed at ISPs, hosting companies, MSPs, IaaS operators and other businesses that need to protect complete IP networks. Traffic can be redirected through HyperFilter by GRE/L2 connectivity and BGP, cleaned inside the mitigation network and then delivered to the customer's infrastructure. The service includes statistics, graphs, alerts and logs together with filtering for TCP floods, UDP and ICMP abuse, ARP floods and port-scan attacks. Setup is free, while pricing is customized according to network size and protection requirements.

Colocation is available in Amsterdam, starting from 1U rack space with protected connectivity of 1 Gbps or higher. The general colocation specification reaches 500 Gbps of protection, while more detailed technical limits have also been listed at 200 Gbps / 88 Mpps per protected IP. High-risk customers should therefore establish the precise mitigation commitment for their individual deployment when ordering.

Domain registration is available through the customer management system. HyperFilter also introduced DDoS-protected Cloud Servers, including SATA and SSD virtual-server configurations. Cloud infrastructure remains part of the wider service portfolio, although dedicated servers and remote DDoS protection now receive much more detailed configuration and pricing information. Layer 2 and Layer 3 network services and IP transit are also part of the company's broader network offering.

An affiliate program is available with 10% recurring monthly commission while the referred customer keeps the service active. Withdrawals become available after the first customer renewal and require a minimum accumulated amount of EUR 250.

The company works in English, while newer HyperFilter interfaces also support Portuguese. The main website still retains some characteristics of an older desktop-oriented hosting site, and information from different generations of the service catalog remains mixed together. The newer interface is more modern, while the dedicated-server range has clearly continued to receive hardware updates. For highly customized services such as colocation, HTS and high-capacity DDoS protection, final technical limits are best established as part of the commercial agreement.
