12. Use Proxy Protection

Proxy protection provides an extra layer of DDoS protection for any website and keeps your
website safe from complex cyber threats. Our remote DDoS proxy protection hides your real IP
from hackers and sends proxy traffic through their mitigation network. The best part is that the
entire process occurs without the visitors realizing it. Furthermore, remote proxy protection
increases the security and performance of HTTP applications. It’s a must for any business
looking to create an impact in the online world.

13. Set up RST Cookies

RST cookies are a strong defense against the DDoS because the server sends incorrect ACK +
SYN to the client and then the client forwards a packet telling the server about the potential
error. Therefore, it prevents the business from potential attack.

14. Filter UDP Traffic With Remote Black Holing

Filtering the UDP traffic with remote black holing can effectively stop undesirable traffic to enter
a protected network. These remote black holes are areas where the traffic is forwarded and
then dropped. And, when an attack is detected it drops all the traffic based on the IP address
and the destination. Here are the three steps to set it up:

• Prepare a null route
• Prepare a route map
• Generate a victim route on the management router

hosting is right for you.
