Curt founded Curt Creation and runs its network (AS209612), its servers in Makati and Singapore, and the in-house XDP firewall that protects them.
Curt started Curt Creation as a coding hobby and, from 2017, ran free game servers for online communities. In 2021, seeing how few providers in Southeast Asia could keep a server online through a DDoS attack, Curt began experimenting with firewall filters, and that work became the start of Curt Creation as a hosting company.
The hosting site launched publicly in 2022. By the end of 2023 Curt Creation was serving about 130 clients across the region and had mitigated roughly 2,000 DDoS attacks.
Today Curt runs Curt Creation's own network, AS209612, with servers in Makati and Singapore behind Global Secure Layer's anycast scrubbing, and the in-house XDP firewall that sits in front of every one of them.
