bunny.net vs Myra CDN

Pull-zone CDN with Perma-Cache

Create a pull zone, attach an origin, and cache on the vendor-stated Standard network (119 PoPs) or the smaller Volume network (10 PoPs). Perma-Cache can store objects permanently on Edge Storage so the zone aims for a full cache hit ratio. Let's Encrypt, instant purge, Edge Rules, SafeHop origin retries, and real-time logs are part of the CDN product. Limit: this is a hosted network, not a self-hosted cache you run in your own racks.

EU Routing Filter for pull zones

Docs describe a Pricing and Routing toggle that sends all pull-zone traffic only through PoPs in EU member states (24 locations listed). Users outside the EU are also sent to those EU PoPs, which raises latency. The filter applies to CDN pull-zone traffic, not to the global DNS network. Combine this with EU storage regions if residency is the purchase filter.

Multi-region edge object storage

Bunny Storage is object storage you upload over FTP, SFTP, HTTP API, or the web file manager, then replicate to chosen regions. The Storage page lists 15 regions spanning EU, US, APAC, LATAM, and Africa, with standard HDD and SSD Edge tiers. Traffic from Storage into Bunny CDN is described as free of API request and API egress fees. You pick each replica region. A US replica is optional, not forced, but global CDN delivery can still cache copies at non-EU PoPs unless filtered.

Bunny Stream transcoding and player

Stream accepts uploads (including TUS resumable API), transcodes multiple resolutions, replicates video, and ships a customizable player or raw HLS. Token authentication, hotlink protection, watermarking, and optional Media Cage multi-DRM are documented product features. Encoding and the player are included in the Stream commercial model. If you enable Transcribe AI or related AI features, audio or prompts can be sent to OpenAI in the United States.

Signed URL tokens and access controls

Token authentication blocks pull-zone requests unless a signed token is present. Basic tokens use MD5 with expiry and optional IP checks. Advanced tokens use SHA256 and add geo restrictions, directory tokens, and speed limits. The same security toolbox includes geo-blocking and hotlink protection. Enabling token authentication disables IPv6 on that zone, per the docs.

Bunny Shield WAF and DDoS

Shield is a separate security product in front of the same edge: managed WAF rules, DDoS mitigation, global rate limits, bot controls, access lists, and upload scanning. Basic WAF rules are available on a free Shield tier. Custom rule counts and request allowances rise on paid tiers. It is not a substitute for Cloudflare Zero Trust or a full SOC platform.

Anycast CDN with RAM cache and HTTP/2

Content is cached in RAM with real-time invalidation and stale-object support, then delivered over Anycast IPv4/IPv6. Protocols on the CDN sheet are HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. Image optimisation includes WebP conversion and on-the-fly resizing via query string. Docs also mention HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, IMAP, and SMTP on the wider platform, plus automatic IPv4/IPv6 translation for IPv4-only origins.

Optional mTLS and signed URLs at the edge

Clients can authenticate to the CDN with a client certificate. The CDN can also present a client certificate to the origin so only Myra reaches origin. Signed URLs add a cryptographic signature and optional expiry. TLS 1.2/1.3 is stated. These controls are optional add-ons, not defaults for every domain.

Layer 7 DDoS on the same reverse proxy

Malicious HTTP is filtered in Myra's network before a redundant reverse proxy forwards clean traffic. Documented controls include GeoIP blocking, rate limits, attack notifications, post-mitigation reports, and upstream monitoring. Network-layer cloud scrubbing and on-prem BGP protection are separate products for IP prefixes. Vendor capacity claims (for example 1 Tbps class attacks) should be validated in an RFP, not treated as a measured SLA.

WAF, bot management, and EU CAPTCHA add-ons

The CDN is sold as a stack with Hyperscale WAF, deep bot management, and Myra EU CAPTCHA (cookie-free, hashed telemetry, optional dedicated DE/EU endpoints). A managed WAF service is offered as an add-on. This is useful for KRITIS and banking sites that want one German operator. It is not a reason to assume every module is included in a CDN-only quote.

Germany-only TLS termination on request

Because WAF and DDoS inspection decrypt HTTPS, Myra states it will terminate TLS exclusively in Germany when the customer requests it. Exclusive processing in German data centres is the same kind of option. If the contract is silent, marketing still describes globally placed PoPs. Write the region constraint into the order form.

REST APIv2, Myra App, and DNS cutover

Go-live is DNS (A/AAAA to Myra, CNAME, or moving authoritative DNS) plus certificate upload via the Myra App or API. APIv2 is documented at apiv2.myracloud.com and can create domains, change cache settings, and edit DNS. Docs also cover SSO, certificate management, waiting rooms, object storage, WebSockets, and maintenance pages. There is no official self-host of the filter plane.
