We now include 10Gbps DDOS Protection from attacks on all VDC instances, free of charge.
How does DDOS protection work?
Vultr's DDOS system works by dynamically routing traffic from your server when an attack is detected. Attack detection is fully automated based on proprietary detection algorithms, filtering attack traffic while clean traffic is able to reach your servers.
How is traffic filtered during a DDOS attack?
When a DDOS Attack is detected, incoming traffic is re-routed to our Attack Mitigation Farm (AMF) which filters traffic based on specific attributes of the current attack. Clean traffic is tunneled directly to your server in the same data center, ensuring that no packets ever leave our premium low-latency network as one might typically encounter with a 3rd party DDOS Mitigation service provider.
Does Vultr protect against both TCP and UDP attacks?
Yes.
Is DDOS protection included with other services?
At this time, DDOS protection is only available for Vultr Dedicated Cloud instances.
Interested in protecting against even larger attacks than 10Gbps?
Coming Soon - We will be offering protection for up to 100Gbps as an add-on subscription for your VDC.
