DDoS Protection Overview (GlassHosting) All GlassHosting services include enterprise-grade DDoS protection designed to keep your servers online even during large-scale attacks. Our mitigation system operates at the network edge and automatically filters malicious traffic without impacting legitimate players or applications. GlassHosting’s network is engineered for stability, resilience, and uninterrupted performance. 1. What Our DDoS Protection Covers GlassHosting provides protection against a wide range of attack vectors, including: Layer 3 / Layer 4 Network-Level Attacks UDP floods TCP SYN, ACK, and RST floods ICMP/HTTP floods Amplification attacks (NTP, DNS, LDAP, CLDAP, Memcached, SSDP) Fragmentation attacks Layer 7 Filtering (Game & Application Optimized) Slowloris-type application drains Large concurrent handshake floods Malformed packet attacks High-rate connection abuse 2. Real-Time Attack Mitigation Our DDoS protection is always on and does not require manual activation. Key features include: Real-time attack detection Automatic routing through mitigation appliances Traffic scrubbing without downtime No port or protocol limitations for covered services Zero impact on latency for clean traffic Mitigation engages within milliseconds, ensuring uptime even during high-intensity attacks. 3. Intelligent Filtering for Game Servers GlassHosting provides specialized filtering profiles for: ✔ Minecraft (Java & Bedrock) Anti-bot heuristics Invalid handshake filtering Fake player detection Rate-limit bypass blocking Ping spoof filtering ✔ FiveM Anti-spoofing Flood and handshake protection Throttling for malicious API calls These optimizations ensure smooth gameplay even during targeted attacks. 4. Network Capacity & Resilience GlassHosting operates with high-bandwidth upstream providers designed to absorb and mitigate attacks across regions. Capabilities include: High-capacity backbone connections Multi-layer packet inspection Advanced heuristics to distinguish real players from attack traffic Intelligent rerouting to avoid congested routes This provides continuity for mission-critical applications and live player environments. 5. Customer Responsibilities While mitigation is automatic, customers should ensure: Ports you use are correctly configured Game servers do not have exploitable plugins Strong passwords and security practices are followed Your server is running the latest version of game frameworks or panels Our protection covers inbound DDoS traffic but cannot fix vulnerabilities inside your application. 6. What to Do If You Experience an Attack If you believe your service is under attack or performance is degraded: Gather details (time, type of service affected). Submit a ticket via the Client Area or email support@glasshosting.net. Our team will review logs, confirm mitigation, and apply custom filtering if needed. We can apply custom mitigation profiles for: High-risk services Premium game modes Dedicated servers requiring custom firewall rules 7. Limitations of DDoS Protection While robust, GlassHosting’s DDoS protection does not cover: Outbound attacks originating from your service Attacks caused by abusive plugins or scripts Layer 7 attacks executed inside your application Private IP exhaustion due to extreme connection storms Such cases may result in suspension or null-routing. 8. Continuous Monitoring Our network is monitored 24/7 by automated systems and human operators.We actively analyze: Traffic patterns Abnormal connection spikes Bandwidth anomalies Threat intelligence feeds This ensures GlassHosting delivers secure, stable service at all times.
