Creating own Game DDoS Protection Infrastructure

LostoneLostone Member

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 o:)

    Thanks so much for the mention, but we don't touch game servers at all :smiley: 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in Singapore are indeed still affordable; however, certain game filters—such as those for FiveM—are unavailable, and outdated game filters can be bypassed, leading to bandwidth exhaustion.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.

    We can handle any sized flood, just open a ticket with us @ https://support.terabit.io/en/. It's worth noting that in Singapore & Malaysia, the bandwidth pricing is usually pretty expensive so you should budget about $1.5-2/Mbps in these regions at the low end.

    For clean traffic yes.

    In Singapore our minimum is $100/month.

    Everything always ends with volumetric avalanche. No matter sofistication of attack - just raw sewage will do the job. Brutal pwnage in Tbps scale. The only thing stopping such attacks - they cost a lot to attackers. The longer they keep manure flowing the faster they are detected and identified by carriers to handle.

    So are you a company looking for a GRE provider? Or are you hosting game servers for a community/yourself?
