Creating own Game DDoS Protection Infrastructure

Lostone

Hi everyone
I’m currently struggling to find an affordable provider offering game-specific DDoS protection in the Singapore/Malaysia region. Many providers only offer standard DDoS protection, which doesn't perform very well.

I’ve tried using XDP/eBPF to handle DDoS attacks, but massive attacks exceeding the server's bandwidth still cause downtime—mostly because servers typically only have 1–10 Gbps capacity, and XDP requires a specialized NIC to function optimally.

Since finding a provider with game-specific protection in Singapore is so difficult, I want to build my own protection system on a tight budget that is robust enough to handle attacks of around 1 Tbps.

Does anyone here have expertise in XDP, eBPF, or Edge technologies and could share some insights? Or are there other users facing similar challenges?
Thanks

@advinservers @gatewaysentryllc @bbmmsvr4u @webhorizon @DigitalFyre @oloke @onidel can?

Thanks so much for the mention, but we don't touch game servers at all It's not our specialty, and we tend to stay away from things we don't have experience with!

I used to use Advinserver back when they still utilized NeoProtect for game protection.
As for Gatewaysentry—that’s actually one of the reasons I’m making this post; they’re shutting down their Singapore POP this month.

Get OVH game server in Singapore, it's probably the most cost effective solution.

OVH Game Servers in Singapore are indeed still affordable; however, certain game filters—such as those for FiveM—are unavailable, and outdated game filters can be bypassed, leading to bandwidth exhaustion.

I am currently planning to use a provider that offers DDoS protection capable of handling botnet attacks or large-scale attacks, and to run XDP/eBPF directly on the server.
