DDoS protected dedicated servers that stay online.
Get the full power of a dedicated server without the fear of the next flood. Every Glitch Servers dedicated server has volumetric DDoS mitigation, and Glitch Guard adds XDP packet filtering to each IP you want to lock down.
Hardware you control, protection you can tune.
A dedicated server concentrates a lot of value on one IP, which makes it a target. Glitch Guard protects that investment at three levels, so a flood is removed in the network and never reaches your NIC, your kernel or your application.
- Inline volumetric mitigation on Tier 1 transit, always on
- XDP filtering in the network driver, per protected IP
- SYN proxy, state validation and per-source connection limits
- Separate clean-traffic path to your server
- Protection for hosting panels, game servers, VPN and web workloads
Why a firewall on the box isn't enough.
Software firewalls only see traffic after it has already crossed your uplink and hit your CPU. A big enough flood saturates the link before iptables ever runs.
Too late for floods
Great for access control, but the bandwidth and interrupts are already spent by the time a rule matches.
Stops the flood upstream
Volumetric attacks are absorbed on transit, before they reach the datacentre's links to your server.
Knows your workload
Protocol validators and per-port rules drop traffic that cannot belong to the service you run.

DDoS protected dedicated server FAQ
What is a DDoS protected dedicated server?
A DDoS protected dedicated server is a physical server hosted on a network that filters attack traffic before it reaches the machine, so the full hardware stays available to you during an attack.
Is DDoS protection included with dedicated servers?
Volumetric mitigation is included on every Glitch Servers service. Glitch Guard per-IP filtering is available as an add-on for each protected IP on a dedicated server.
Can I run multiple IPs with different rules?
Yes. Glitch Guard works per IP, so each protected IP can have its own presets, port rules, service toggles and Under-Attack Mode settings.
Does protection slow my dedicated server down?
No. Filtering is performed at the network edge in microseconds, in the same UK datacentre, and outbound traffic is never filtered or rate-limited.
Stop attacks before they reach your server.
Add Glitch Guard to a Glitch Servers VPS, dedicated server or game server and manage every rule from the client area.
