nuDefend — cyber protection for your cloud servers
A single command installs a lightweight agent that blocks known attackers on any cloud or on-premise server — inbound and outbound — automatically. Privacy-first, self-updating, zero telemetry.
curl -sSL https://get.nudefend.com | sudo bash -s <YOUR_LICENSE_KEY>Runs on any Linux server — AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean or on-prem. Replace <YOUR_LICENSE_KEY> with the key from your welcome email.
How it works
Install in seconds
One command installs the signed, secure nuDefend agent onto your server. No dashboard to babysit.
Pulls a signed blocklist
Every 30 minutes the agent fetches a cryptographically signed threat list — malicious domains and attacker IPs.
Blocks threats instantly
Threats are dropped inbound and outbound, before they ever reach the services running on your server.
Local-only reports
See what was blocked on the server itself. Nothing about your traffic ever leaves the machine.
Why nuDefend
Any cloud, any server
AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, bare metal — if it runs Linux, it's protected.
Privacy-first
The only outbound call is fetching the signed blocklist. Your data and traffic stay yours.
Always fresh
Threat lists refresh automatically every 30 minutes, so protection never goes stale.
Self-healing
The agent monitors itself and restores its rules if anything tampers with them.
Secure and hardened
A compact, hardened nuDefend agent — no embedded secrets and no needless attack surface.
One-line install
No agents to configure, no console to learn. Paste one command and you're done.
What nuDefend blocks
Two independent layers guard every server — one at the network edge, one at the DNS level — so threats are stopped whether they arrive, leave, or try to resolve a dangerous name.
Network layer — malicious IPs
Traffic to and from known-bad addresses is dropped at the kernel firewall, before it ever reaches the services on your server.
DNS layer — malicious domains
Dangerous domains are blackholed system-wide, so no application on the server can resolve or reach them.

Privacy by design
nuDefend never sends your logs, traffic or metadata anywhere. The agent only downloads a signed threat list — a one-way street. Reports live on your server and nowhere else.
Fair and transparent
If a subscription lapses, nuDefend fails open — it stops blocking rather than locking you out — and can cleanly uninstall itself. No lock-in, ever.
