Always-On Mitigation

DDoS
Protection

Never go offline. Our inline, multi-layered mitigation scrubs malicious traffic in real-time without adding latency to legitimate requests.

Security Without Compromise.

In today's threat landscape, being targeted by a Distributed Denial of Service attack is a matter of when, not if. Standard hosts rely on "null routing"-simply turning off your server when attacked to save their network. At Plex Scale, we believe that is unacceptable. We utilize custom hardware appliances to absorb, filter, and drop malicious packets before they ever reach your instance.

Multi-Layer Filtering

Our mitigation pipeline operates inline at the very edge of our network. When an incoming packet hits our border routers, it is instantly analyzed by AI-driven behavioral models. Volumetric attacks (like massive UDP or DNS amplification floods targeting Layer 3/4) are identified and dropped at wire-speed by specialized hardware ASICs.

For more sophisticated Layer 7 HTTP floods designed to exhaust application resources, traffic is transparently routed through a secondary scrubbing tier. This tier utilizes advanced challenge-response mechanisms (like invisible JS challenges or CAPTCHAs under extreme duress) to separate legitimate users from botnet traffic.

Crucially, because this scrubbing hardware sits inline within our own data centers rather than relying on a third-party reverse proxy like Cloudflare, there is zero added latency for your clean traffic.

Cyber Security Shield

Transparent Defense

Clean traffic flows freely. Malicious packets hit a brick wall.

Data Packet Visualization

Bulletproof Defense

Volumetric Filtering

Absorbs massive UDP floods, amplification attacks, and SYN floods effortlessly.

Game Server Profiles

Custom UDP filters specifically tuned for Minecraft, Source Engine, and FiveM.

Always-On

No DNS changes required. Protection is native to your assigned IP address 24/7.

Protecting Critical Infrastructure

High-Profile Game Servers

Game servers are frequent targets of extortion attacks. Our game-specific UDP profiles drop malformed packets while letting legitimate player traffic through.

E-Commerce Platforms

Layer 7 HTTP floods can cripple checkouts during peak sales. Our application-layer defense filters out botnets without blocking real buyers.

Corporate VPNs

Keep remote workers connected. Our inline mitigation ensures that IPsec and WireGuard tunnels remain stable even under volumetric duress.

Common Questions

Is DDoS protection included in all plans?
Yes. Enterprise-grade DDoS protection is a core network feature and is included at no extra cost on all VPS, Game Server, and Bare Metal plans.
Do I need to change my nameservers?
No. Our protection operates at the network level on the IP address assigned to your server. You do not need to use a reverse proxy or change DNS.
What happens if an attack exceeds 12Tbps?
Our global scrubbing capacity exceeds 12Tbps. In the highly unlikely event an attack approaches this, BGP Anycast allows us to distribute the attack load across multiple global datacenters.
Can you filter custom UDP protocols?
Yes. For Bare Metal and Enterprise clients, our NOC can deploy custom stateless firewall rules to match and filter specific packet payloads.
