This addon provides you with an affordable source of Denial Of Service protection.
These addresses are available then on your slice for you to use locally, or to tunnel to another machine.
We use the Path Network for our DDoS Protection on all DDoS Protected IPs.
We also offer an option for you to protect your own blocks (no smaller than a /24) of IP addresses.
If you don't know what this is, nor have you been sent an email regarding a nullroute being applied against your IP, it's unlikely you need this :)
Protected IP addresses cost $3.00/month per IP address in all locations we operate.
Bringing your own IP blocks for protection are charged $50/mo per /24.
Path.net provides 3.5Tbit+ DDOS Protection on all DDOS Protected IPs.
Here is an exhaustive list of floods that our filtering helps protect against:
As well as many others. Some protection may require a ticket to be enabled, namely some of the HTTP layer 7 protection.
In some cases we can get custom rules put in place to help, so be sure to let us know if you see a flood passing through.
You can configure the DDoS Protection firewall, and add Application Filters on Stallion. Please note that the DDoS Protection firewall only works on a path.net protected IP. The firewall rules are configured per IP. To access these settings:
This will take you to the configuration page for the chosen IP. There are two tabs, Firewall Rules and Application Filters.
Firewall rules allow you to block or allow incoming traffic, based on source address, protocol, source and destination ports if applicable, Rules have optional descriptions as well, to allow you to note what the rule covers. More specific rules take precedence over less specific rules. A recommended strategy is to deny all traffic on all protocols, then only allow the traffic you need.
The application filters allow you to protect your applications against attacks that are specific to them.
Path.net currently offers these application filters:
Note: Some filters may require a ticket. (Such as Minecraft or HTTP Layer 7 Protection.)
Our filtering carries a 99.9% uptime SLA.
This SLA does not cover users getting application layer floods.
While at checkout, or on the product upgrade page, simply enter how many protected IP addresses you want in the 'DDOS protection' field.
DDoS protected IP's are automatically bound at order time. Ordering them at any other time will take anywhere from 5 minutes to a few hours depending on the time of day.
You can find your IP address listed in the networking section in the Stallion.
The DDoS Protected IP should show up and the type should say DDoS Protected in red.
curl ipinfo.io
and see if your DDOS Protected IP shows up. If you're using Windows Server 2016 running curl ipinfo.io
in Command Prompt should work. If you're using Windows 2012 you may need to open a internet browser and go to ipinfo.io and see if your DDOS Protected IP shows up.Please abide by our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy for a list of applications allowed on our network.
TL;DR Camfrog is fine.
