BugShield is a zero-touch cloud security platform. You don’t need to install anything on your server or source code in order to use BugShield.io. All it takes is just a simple change in your DNS record, and you’re set up in as little as 2 minutes.
In order to use BugShield, you need to replace your domain’s name servers (usually found at your domain registrar e.g. Godaddy.com) with BugShield’s DNS servers. This will activate BugShield protection for your domain.
A DNS server is responsible to translate your domain name into the IP address of the server on which the domain is hosted. If the DNS server is far away from the location of your server, there can be a delay in DNS resolution, increasing latency. BugShield.io uses AnyCast DNS which means out of the 23 global DNS servers, BugShield.io will choose the DNS server closest to your servers. This reduces latency upto 250%.
Once your account is setup and you update your DNS, it usually takes 15 minutes to propogate the DNS changes all over the global internet. However there is NO DOWNTIME since old DNS records will still point to your server.
