Getting taken offline by a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is frustrating. That is why every single Evevps server - whether it is a [Windows RDP](/windows-rdp/overview) or a [Linux VPS](/linux-vps/overview) - includes Layer 4 DDoS protection at no extra cost. ## How It Works You do not need to configure anything or install any special software. The protection is built into our core network infrastructure in both our \[LOCATION\_1] and \[LOCATION\_2] locations. If someone tries to flood your Evevps server with junk traffic (like TCP SYN floods or UDP reflection attacks), our edge routers instantly detect the spike. They automatically filter out the malicious packets and only let legitimate traffic through to your Evevps server. This happens in seconds, meaning you will not even notice the attack is happening. Your websites stay online, your trading bots keep running, and your SSH/RDP connections remain stable. ## What is Covered? Our automated system protects against volumetric network-level (Layer 3 and Layer 4) attacks, including: * TCP SYN Floods * UDP Floods * ICMP / Ping Floods * NTP, DNS, and SSDP Amplification Attacks **Note on Layer 7 Attacks:** Our protection handles raw network floods. If you are hosting a public website and getting hit by Layer 7 HTTP floods (bots mimicking real web browsers), we highly recommend routing your website through a free service like Cloudflare to complement our network-level protection.
