How to protect your Minecraft servers against UDP and TCP floods

How to protect your Minecraft servers against UDP and TCP floods

Multi-terabit massive DDoS attacks have become increasingly frequent. The largest attack to happen lately occurred in October. It was a 2.5 Tbps DDoS attack against the Minecraft server, Wynncraft. Once again, it was launched by a Mirai botnet. The multi-vector attack’s malicious traffic was composed of UDP and TCP packets. The attack lasted for about two minutes.

Such attacks ruin the gaming experience: users get disconnected while playing or can’t open their favorite game. To cover the community from this threat, we created a specialized solution to protect Minecraft gaming servers.

What we offer to protect your Minecraft server

We have a countermeasure to protect Minecraft servers. Essentially, our DDoS Protection has a special configuration set that takes into account the features of Minecraft servers and covers their vulnerabilities.

To protect your server, we configure a GRE tunnel to our scrubbing centers’ worldwide anycast IP addresses. The server stays in your data center but gets secured by our protection system. We guarantee protection from L3-L7 attacks.

If you have any questions about our Minecraft protection solution, please contact our security experts. We’ll walk you through all the details.

Protect your Minecraft server with our global gaming community-approved advanced DDoS protection.
