Fivem | How to Protect your fivem server from attacks

At Hyper Layer, we provide enhanced protection for every FiveM server using a layered security approach to prevent cyber attacks, particularly DDoS attacks. Here’s how we secure your FiveM server:

1. Cloudflare Tunnel Managed by Us​

Every FiveM server hosted on Hyper Layer is protected with a Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnel, managed by our team. This tunnel offers key advantages:

  • IP Protection: The Cloudflare tunnel hides your server’s IP address by routing all traffic through Cloudflare’s global network. This prevents attackers from targeting your server directly.
  • Encrypted Traffic: Cloudflare ensures that all traffic between the server and the users is encrypted, adding an extra layer of security to the connection.
  • DDoS Mitigation: Cloudflare’s network absorbs and filters out DDoS attacks before they can impact your FiveM server, ensuring minimal downtime and uninterrupted gameplay.
  • Global Optimization: By using Cloudflare’s global infrastructure, we can deliver faster response times and optimized performance for players, no matter where they are located.

2. Arbor DDoS Protection as a Secondary Layer​

In addition to the Cloudflare tunnel, we employ Arbor DDoS protection as a secondary layer for even greater resilience against attacks. Arbor enhances security by:

  • Advanced Threat Detection: Arbor monitors network traffic patterns and detects malicious behavior in real-time, helping mitigate attacks before they affect server performance.
  • DDoS Defense at Scale: Arbor is designed to handle large-scale volumetric attacks that attempt to flood your server with traffic. This ensures your server remains available, even under heavy attack.
  • Network-wide Protection: Arbor provides broader network protection, serving as a fail-safe to stop attacks that might slip through the first layer of Cloudflare protection.

Why This is Important​

By combining Cloudflare Zero Trust Tunnel with Arbor DDoS Protection, Hyper Layer ensures that every FiveM server is equipped to handle the most sophisticated cyber threats. These layers of protection work together to maintain uptime, secure access, and fast performance, creating a secure and seamless experience for your players.
