WHAT MAKES SHIELD THE MOST SECURE?
Unlike other Static IP proxies, XLRoutes Shield does not reveal sensitive data or necessitate sharing private certificates with third parties when employing HTTPS or Secure SOCKS.
Sharing private security keys and exposing sensitive data is not compliant with HIPAA/PCI standards and can result in several security vulnerabilities, even if you are not subject to external security requirements.
XLRoutes Shield employs SSL Passthrough to securely route all traffic, rather than SSL Termination.
XLR Shield safeguards three pieces of sensitive information that other Static IP services leave vulnerable
Private SSL Certs
You never have to share your private keys with a third party, like XLRoutes. As of 2018, 56% of security incidents stem from 3rd party data compromises.1
Sensitive Infrastructure Metadata
You never expose your source/destination hostnames, open ports, and running/accessible services and applications to malicious actors allowing them to map out your corporate network.
Static IP Proxy Credentials
You never route any IP Proxy credentials unencrypted for hackers to steal and impersonate your traffic through your trusted Static IP’s.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Static Inbound or Outbound IP Address
Securely route your inbound and outbound traffic through a load balanced pair of static IP addresses via our
distributed proxies.
XLRoutes Shield allows you to integrate with third parties that require a known
IP for allow-listing or to open your own firewall to allow secure traffic through. We support SSL and custom
domains.
Inbound Proxy via SSL Passthrough
Inbound proxy uses SSL passthrough – not SSL termination at each end point – to provide end to end security for your application traffic.
Load Balanced Pair of Static IP’s
We provide a load balanced pair of IP addresses, so if one IP fails, traffic will automatically route through your
second IP complete with health checks and automated failover.
We also offer dedicated IP addresses, if
desired, as an option to provide more reliability and security.
Database Access via Any Protocol
We support all possible proxy protocols: HTTP, HTTPS via CONNECT and Secure SOCKS. Our Secure SOCKS proxy
configuration is SOCKS5 over TLS to ensure privacy and security, perfect for routing your database traffic via a
Static IP.
Guaranteed to work with PostgresSQL, MySQL, MongoDB & Oracle, as well as many other
databases and languages.
