Anti-DDoS advisory & implementation

Garry's Mod servers are exposed to more than generic traffic floods. The system every server browser uses to look up your server's name and player count has a well-documented history of being abused as part of larger attacks. The concrete incident reports we've found are older, not recent. The exposure is structural, though - a public server has to answer that query to appear in the browser at all - so the protections below stay worth having in place regardless of how active that specific threat is right now.

We assess your current exposure and help you or your hosting provider put the right protections in place: rate limiting, provider-level DDoS protection, and a review of your current setup. This is advisory and hands-on implementation support - we don't run a scrubbing network ourselves.

• Review of your current network protections and exposure
• Recommendations for DDoS protection suited to your player count and budget
• Hands-on support setting up firewall and rate-limit rules
