NorthShield DDoS protection filtering infrastructure

DDoS Protectionbuilt for terabit-scale edge mitigation.

XDP and eBPF drop attack traffic at the edge across Europe, Türkiye, and the US. Clean flows return over GRE, IPIP, BGP, or protected Minecraft paths.

Mitigation platform

Built for operators who need clean delivery under attack.

Our platform is designed around how hosting, game, and transit teams actually run production traffic — not a generic scrubbing appliance with a separate control plane.

Kernel edge

XDP and eBPF filtering

High-volume attack traffic is dropped in the kernel path before it consumes origin capacity, keeping mitigation efficient under sustained floods.

Application aware

Layer 7 policy

HTTP, API, launcher, and game-specific traffic is filtered with protocol-aware rules that can be tuned per service from the NorthShield panel.

Global edge

Anycast scrub fabric

Nine regional PoPs absorb attack volume close to where traffic enters, then return clean flows over GRE, IPIP, BGP, or protected game tunnels.

Operations

Real-time visibility

Attack logs, traffic sources, and mitigation state stay in one panel so your team can see what is being filtered without opening a separate monitoring stack.

Delivery

Prefix and tunnel handoff

Remote workloads receive filtered transit through protected tunnels and BGP sessions. Game workloads use low-latency protected paths back to origin.

Availability

Always-on mitigation

Protection stays active at the edge so origin routers, firewalls, and application servers are not the first line against volumetric events.

Traffic flow

How does our filtering platform work?

Legitimate requests pass through the scrub layer. Attack traffic is dropped before it reaches your infrastructure.

Bad traffic is blocked

Attack packets are dropped at the edge.

Multi-layer filtering

L3, L4, and L7 protection in one path.

Clean traffic is delivered

Only legitimate sessions reach your origin.

Application filters

Protect your application with our prebuilt filters.

Enable the filters you need in a single click — no ticket, no custom rule writing to get started. If the application you run is not listed here, we build protocol-aware filtering tailored to your stack.

One-click controls

Each filter is available from the NorthShield panel. Toggle FiveM, Minecraft, CS2, Rust, voice, or remote access protection per service without rebuilding your edge policy from scratch.

A2S caching

Our A2S caching runs on the anycast path, so Steam query responses stay fast and stable while attack traffic is scrubbed away from your game origins.

Connected to tier-one transit partners.

Our edge sits on proven upstream paths so protected traffic can be announced, scrubbed, and handed back with stable routing.

Global topology

Protected network map

Nine regional points of presence with terabit-scale scrub capacity. Remote Protection and Game Protection are available at every location.

PoP locations

Nine edge locations, one mitigation fabric.

Three Frankfurt sites, plus Paris, London, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Ashburn, and Sofia (Telehouse Centrum). Attack volume is absorbed regionally before clean traffic is returned to your origin or tunnel endpoint.
