They get shit on a lot here. Why? What do they do and how is that different from other companies that offer similar services?

What I know of them: they offer DDS brute force/spam protection for websites.

    It’s worth mentioning the advantage of why they do this. There are several reasons, but the two most common are:

    • Seeing the data means they can do a better job at detecting attacks and fending them off.

    • They can issue certificates with longer lives from their private CA which simplifies certificate management for their customers.

      considering they are a US company they are bound by US warrantless wiretapping laws.
