Being taken offline by a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is frustrating. That's why every Eve VPS server includes Layer 4 DDoS protection at no extra cost.
How it works
There's nothing to configure or install. Protection is built into our core network. If someone floods your server with junk traffic, such as TCP SYN floods or UDP reflection attacks, our edge routers detect the spike, filter out the malicious packets and let only legitimate traffic through.
This happens within seconds, so your websites stay online, your bots keep running and your SSH sessions stay connected.
What's covered
Our automated system protects against volumetric network-level (Layer 3 and Layer 4) attacks, including:
- TCP SYN floods
- UDP floods
- ICMP / ping floods
- NTP, DNS and SSDP amplification attacks
Note on Layer 7 attacks: Our protection handles raw network floods. If you host a public website that is hit by Layer 7 HTTP floods (bots imitating real browsers), we recommend routing the site through a service like Cloudflare to complement our network-level protection.
