Remote DDoS protection
Introduction
If your current hosting provider doesn't offer adequate DDoS protection, and your needs are not fulfilled with Minecraft-specific DDoS protection, remote DDoS protection can be a lifesaver. With this approach, traffic to your server is filtered through a remote protection service that absorbs and mitigates attacks before they reach your machine. On this page we'll explore the different services available, and how they're integrated into your setup.
