Multi-Layer DDoS Protection Pipeline

Every packet traverses four defense stages before reaching your Minecraft server. Each layer filters a different class of attack, providing true defense-in-depth.

1

Cloudflare Spectrum Edge

Player traffic hits Cloudflare's global Anycast network first. L3/L4 attacks are absorbed across 300+ PoPs worldwide before reaching your origin.

2

Protocol Relay

Clean traffic is forwarded through dedicated relay endpoints per protocol — Java (TCP), Bedrock (UDP), management, and web map each get their own path.

3

OVH VAC Scrubbing

Two isolated OVH VAC clusters perform hardware-level volumetric scrubbing. Game traffic and management services are separated for fault isolation.

4

Backend Delivery

Verified traffic arrives at the dedicated service host via Proxy Protocol v1, delivering real player IPs to your Minecraft server processes.

Why Choose HolicNode for Minecraft DDoS Protection

Purpose-built infrastructure for Minecraft workloads. Every feature is designed to keep your players connected and your server online.

Java & Bedrock Protection

Dedicated protection paths for both Java Edition (TCP 25565) and Bedrock Edition (UDP 19132) with protocol-optimized filtering that understands Minecraft traffic patterns.

🛡

Dual OVH VAC Clusters

Game traffic and management services are isolated across two independent OVH VAC clusters. An attack on game ports cannot impact your RCON or Dynmap access.

🌐

Global Low-Latency Routing

Cloudflare Spectrum routes connections through the nearest edge PoP in 300+ locations worldwide. Players experience less than 5ms added latency in most regions.

🔒

Real Player IP Preservation

Proxy Protocol v1 passes original client IPs through every protection layer. Ban lists, whitelist plugins, GeoIP, and player analytics all work correctly.

Always-On Protection

Every packet is inspected in real-time with zero detection delay. Attacks are blocked instantly from the first malicious packet, not after a ramp-up period.

💪

1 Tbps+ Mitigation Capacity

Combined Cloudflare and OVH VAC infrastructure absorbs the largest volumetric attacks. UDP floods, SYN floods, amplification attacks, and bot floods are all mitigated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HolicNode's Minecraft DDoS protection and enterprise hosting infrastructure.

HolicNode uses a multi-layer DDoS protection architecture. Cloudflare Spectrum provides L4 edge protection across 300+ global data centers, filtering malicious traffic before it reaches the network. OVH VAC then provides volumetric attack mitigation with hardware-level scrubbing at the data center. Together, they absorb and mitigate attacks exceeding 1 Tbps while keeping your Minecraft server online and responsive.
Yes. HolicNode protects both Minecraft Java Edition (TCP port 25565) and Bedrock Edition (UDP port 19132). Each protocol has dedicated Cloudflare Spectrum endpoints and OVH VAC clusters with filtering rules optimized for their specific traffic patterns and potential attack vectors.
Cloudflare Spectrum routes traffic through the nearest edge node in their global network of 300+ data centers, minimizing added latency. Most players experience less than 5ms additional latency, which is imperceptible during gameplay. The Proxy Protocol v1 header adds negligible overhead to connection establishment.
HolicNode mitigates all common Minecraft DDoS attack vectors including UDP floods, SYN floods, TCP amplification, application-layer attacks, bot join floods, null ping attacks, and handshake floods. The multi-layer architecture handles both volumetric (L3/L4) and protocol-level attacks simultaneously.
Yes. HolicNode uses Proxy Protocol v1 to preserve original client IP addresses through the entire protection chain. Your Minecraft server receives real player IPs, so ban lists, geo-restrictions, whitelist plugins, and player analytics all function correctly.
