Hetzner DDoS Protection
Hardware-backed DDoS mitigation for high-traffic infrastructure
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.
