If you don't need UDP, You can just drop it on OVH's Firewall.
Overall it's pretty decent, better than nothing.
If you want something that works beautifully, try RamNode's Seattle location with the filtered IP, it should be CNservers (I think) which is amazingly good.
Another option would be Voxility, Search around LET tons of Voxility guys here.
thanks a lot
Depends on what service you want to protect too, but OVH isn't "really bad". For a website and non-L7 attacks you would be mostly fine. In the case of some UDP gameservers, it could be a different history.
Wow, I wouldn't classify CNservers as "amazingly good".
Compared to OVH, it's definitely a step up. OVH also now has a GAME mode now it seems, perhaps that's more improved for gameservers, I wouldn't know :P
OVH ddos protection works really well L3/L4 but as others have said I wouldn't rely on them for webserver protection. I have my website hosted at OVH but I had to get additional protection for it.
I would say it is amazingly good for the price in case of big attacks. For regular up to 10-20 Gbps others work well, but when it comes in 100 Gbps, almost all other providers would brown their pants.
OVH Anti-DDoS Game protection support L3/L4/L7 attacks, but haven't seen any reviews about it.
If you're looking for best in bread look for Arbour.
That damn spell checker!
OVH is good (very good for the price, IE nothing)
+1 for Arbor Pravail (L7 filtering specifically). It works well also for Layer 3 and 4 based attacks.
If you are a large ISP, Arbor Peakflow TMS may be offered.
ovh servers are good but you will get no support with them, and they don't have ipmi on there server, you can order ipkvm but when i order one i doesn't work, so if you have any issues with server your in problem.
also they probit to enter your server even if you ask them to do that.
anyone got any thoughts on Black Lotus while we are at it? recent thoughts.. like last 3-4 months.
doesn't OVH use Arbor as well?
They do, but I believe not all traffic is passed through their Arbor devices. So don't expect Arbor protection on every standard service. This should also be clarified too.

They have a cluster of mitigation systems.
Still have Gameserver's running at OVH, in case of the Port is directly attacked, we notice some seconds a lagg then its nearly gone within like 30 seconds.
I have the feeling that the Game Protection is active for all OVH brand servers, not just there game thingys.
well yea, but for the price we pay, I have no complaints.
OVH's firewall can be very powerful, if you know how to use it. If you're under attack and VAC isn't working, you can set up custom rules which will be able to fix the problems a lot of the time. I understand it can be a pain since it's not fully automatic, but some things are just going to require a human to look and analyze the patterns.
@Infinity580 Can confirm. We have servers with OVH and we have the option to enable their Game firewall, which was recently added.
you can always put mitigation to "permanent".
No idea what you're talking about. All OVH brand (non KS/SYS) dedicated servers have remote KVM + rescue mode.
I think you've probably used servers from Kimsufi or SYS only (which are their budget brands) because all OVH servers have IPMI & KVMoIP included by default, you do not need to order them separately & they work without any issues.
yes, i was using SYS (soyoustart.com)
Sorry, mobile.
Huh? Every ticket I've opened with them, they've responded within 3 hours. They have great support.
I own a Kimsufi and I do have rescue mode.
Probably not. You can test if the game ddos protection is active by installing a teamspeak server, joining it and then, while being on the server, change your ip.
If you get a timeout and get reconnected, OVH game ddos protection is active.
OVH's game ddos protection has some udp session handling and it will drop you if you get a new IP while being in a session.
Well, it's not hard to use NGINX and check if the "conectee" is a nice, gold robot trying to attack or a legitimate user.
Samsung? They are duckers for it.

Eh, i have a old OVH Dedi, cant enable it but permanent mitingation. Shit.
