TrafficShield started as an in-house tool. We ran paid search across a fleet of local-service businesses, watched invalid traffic quietly eat the budget every month, and couldn't find a tool that actually caught the sophisticated stuff. So we built one.
Every detection rule in TrafficShield came from a real attack on a real campaign. Rotating residential botnets that made one attacker look like fifty visitors. IPv6 addresses that changed on every single click. Click farms that "warmed up" slowly to stay under simple frequency caps. Shared ad URLs replayed across group chats, poisoning audiences and conversion data.
IP blocking — what most tools rely on — did nothing against any of it. So we built detection around the device and its behaviour, not just its address. That's the core of what makes TrafficShield different.
TrafficShield is the productized version of a system that protected real ad spend across 143 production sites running paid search every day. We're now opening it up to other advertisers who are tired of funding fraud.
Install TrafficShield and watch the fraud show up in your first hour.
