# FlashEdge Firewall pricing

The FlashEdge Web Application Firewall is built into the FlashEdge CDN and helps protect your content and applications against common web threats, including Layer 7 (application layer) DDoS attacks, unwanted IP access, and traffic from undesired countries.\
\
The FlashEdge Firewall is available as an optional paid add-on separately for every distribution.\
\
All Firewall features are included in a single package, so enabling **Recommended Protection**, **Country Protection**, or **IP Address Protection** does not affect the price — it remains the same.<br>

* **Price**: $12/month/30-days
* **Billing model**: Usage-based, calculated weekly based on a daily usage.
* **Daily cost**: $0.40 (charged only for days when the Firewall is active)

### How It Works

You are only billed for the days during which the Firewall is enabled in your FlashEdge configuration. For example:

* If you enable the Firewall for one FlashEdge distribution for 1 day in a given month, you'll be charged **$0.40**.
* If you keep it enabled for the full month, the cost will be \~**$12.00**.
* If you enable the Firewall for two distributions, you pay **$0.40 per day per distribution** — totaling **$0.80 per day**. The cost scales linearly with the number of distributions.

This flexible model ensures you only pay for the protection you actually use.
