Hetzner's DDoS Protection filters volumetric and application-layer attacks at network edge. Designed for cloud users and hosting providers managing large traffic volumes.

Hetzner DDoS Protection uses scrubbing centers and Anycast routing to absorb and filter attack traffic before it reaches your infrastructure. Covers Layer 3/4 volumetric attacks and Layer 7 application-layer threats. Auto-triggers during detected attacks with configurable thresholds. Integrates with Hetzner Cloud and dedicated servers without separate billing per gigabit.

Pros

  • Deploy without external vendor lock-in or third-party dependencies
  • Handle multi-gigabit attacks via Hetzner's own infrastructure
  • Activate automatically or manually via API and console
  • Protect both Cloud and bare-metal servers in one service

Cons

  • Limited to Hetzner infrastructure; cannot protect non-Hetzner targets
  • Requires understanding of traffic baseline for effective tuning
  • Fewer advanced customization options versus specialized DDoS providers

Best For
