Do you provide DDoS protection? How does it work?

We provide DDoS filtering options in all locations.

Atlanta / New York / The Netherlands

Protection in Atlanta, New York, and the Netherlands is provided via GRE tunnel from Staminus Communications. Their system can filter up to 10Gbps or ~2 million PPS for a wide array of TCP and UDP attacks. Attacks over 10Gbps will result in a nullroute.

Seattle


Protection in Seattle is provided via direct connection to CNServers in our Seattle data center. Their system can filter up to 10Gbps or ~1.5 million PPS for certain attacks. Attacks over 10Gbps will result in a nullroute. UDP floods will result in all UDP traffic being at least temporarily dropped for the target IP (except for certain DNS traffic).

How to Activate DDoS Protection

You have to order a DDoS-filtered IP in order to receive DDoS protection. This can be done on the order form or in the Client Area: https://mybdhost.com/portal/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=20 . Please give us up to 24 hours to assign your filtered IP after payment is received. You will be able to find your IP in the SolusVM CP once we email you that it is ready.

Other Information

We recommend that you set your DDoS filtered IP to be secondary (not the Main IP) in the SolusVM CP.

Attacks against non-filtered IPs will always result in nullroutes. We do not offer any guarantees with this filtering system at this time. Also, ordering a DDoS-filtered IP does not mean you can ignore our AUP. The items prohibited in the AUP are prohibited whether you have a filtered IP or not.

For non-filtered DDoS mitigation (not protection), please see this article about our automated RamNull system:https://clientarea.ramnode.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=87
