DDoS Protection In Three Steps

How our DDoS protection works

A DDoS attack floods your server's IP with fake traffic from thousands of machines at once, so your real users can't reach it. Any service that is online can be a target: game servers, websites, web applications and growing platforms. Even a few minutes offline costs you visitors, players and customers.

Every Linceris.com Virtual Private Server runs on our network, AS201129, behind DataForest.net, a German network company in Kriftel that specializes in stopping large and complex DDoS attacks. Everything sent to your IP is checked first. Volumetric attacks are contained at the network edge within seconds, attack packets are dropped, and only clean traffic is passed on to your server.

Protection works on every layer an attack can hit:

• Layer 3, network. Large floods that try to fill the connection, such as ICMP floods and amplification attacks, are dropped at the network edge.
• Layer 4, transport. TCP and UDP attacks, such as SYN floods and UDP floods, are filtered before they can overload your server.
• Layer 7, application. Attacks that look like real requests, such as HTTP floods on a website or fake connections to a game server, are recognized and dropped.

Protection covers your whole server IP and is always on, so everything you run on your Linceris.com Virtual Private Server is protected, whether that is a game server, a website, a web application or a growing platform.
