DDoS Protection in Europe

Filter attacks inside Europe at our Frankfurt edge — not a distant cloud scrubbing centre. Self-serve GRE / VXLAN / WireGuard tunnels or real BGP sessions, sub-second mitigation, and no cross-region backhaul penalty. Free trial, per-hour billing, from $25/mo.

Quick Answer

Sucura Networks scrubs European DDoS attacks at its Frankfurt edge, in-region, so latency stays low during an attack instead of being backhauled across the world. Protect any server by announcing your prefix over BGP (BYOIP) or terminating a GRE, VXLAN or WireGuard tunnel to a protected IP we provide — no server migration required. L3, L4 and L7 mitigation from $25 per month plus $0.05 per GB scrubbed.

Why In-Region European Scrubbing Beats Backhaul

Many cloud DDoS services route European traffic out of the region to a filtering centre and back, adding tens of milliseconds. We scrub inside Europe at the Frankfurt edge, so clean traffic stays close to your users.

Scrubbed In-Region

Filtering happens at our Frankfurt edge, inside Europe — clean traffic stays on short in-region paths instead of detouring out of the continent and back.

Self-Service BGP

Announce your own prefix (BYOIP) or take a protected IP over a tunnel — deployed yourself in the panel, no sales gate and no ticket queue.

Free Trial

Spin up a protected tunnel on a trial and convert it to a paid subscription in place — no teardown, no long contract.

Per-Hour Billing

Pay by the hour or $0.05/GB scrubbed, not a large enterprise monthly minimum. Transparent USD pricing.

Always-On Anycast at the Frankfurt Edge

Frankfurt is our European anchor. BGP routes each user to the nearest edge, and always-on scrubbing absorbs floods where they arrive.

Anycast routing

BGP steers North American users to Toronto, European users to Frankfurt and APAC users to Singapore. Your European traffic lands at the Frankfurt edge and is filtered on the spot.

Always-on, not on-demand

Mitigation runs continuously, so there is no divert window when an attack begins. A flood is absorbed at the edge the moment it arrives, with sub-second detection.

Extensive European peering

The Frankfurt edge sits on dense in-region peering, keeping the path between your users and the scrubbing edge short — which is what keeps latency low during an attack.

Distributed absorption

Frankfurt is one node in a multi-continent anycast network. A volumetric flood is absorbed across the footprint rather than hammering a single site.

Protect Any EU Server Without Migrating

Keep your server exactly where it is. Route it through the Frankfurt scrubbing edge two ways — both self-service in the Nexus panel, with no migration.

BGP session + BYOIP

Announce your own /24 to AS398999. Inbound traffic routes through our scrubbing network first, and clean traffic returns to you. IRR- and RPKI-aware, configured from the panel.

GRE / VXLAN / WireGuard tunnel

No IP space of your own? Terminate a protected tunnel from the Frankfurt edge to your origin anywhere in Europe and receive a clean, protected IP. Works on Linux and Windows.

No server migration

Your host, your hypervisor, your provider — nothing moves. Protection sits in front of the origin you already run, so there is no re-platforming and no downtime to switch on.

Self-service in minutes

Deploy a tunnel or bring up a BGP session yourself in the Nexus panel. No quote, no onboarding call — start on a free trial and go live the same day.

One Anycast Network — Toronto · Frankfurt · Singapore

Europe is served from our multi-PoP anycast anti-DDoS network. BGP routes every user to the nearest edge, and a volumetric flood is absorbed across all sites instead of hammering one. North America hits Toronto, Europe hits our Frankfurt edge, and APAC hits Singapore — scrubbed where you are, with no cross-region backhaul.

What We Mitigate — L3, L4 and L7

Volumetric and protocol floods are dropped at the network edge; application-layer abuse is filtered with protocol-aware rules. Always-on, with sub-second detection.

Layer 3 / 4 volumetric

SYN, UDP and ICMP floods, plus reflection and amplification attacks, are absorbed and dropped at the Frankfurt edge before they reach your origin.

Protocol attacks

State-exhaustion and malformed-packet attacks that target network stacks and middleboxes are filtered in-line, so your infrastructure stays responsive.

Layer 7 application abuse

Floods that mimic real users — HTTP request floods and similar application-layer abuse — are caught with protocol-aware rules, not just raw packet filtering.

Sub-second, always-on

Detection is sub-second and mitigation never sleeps. There is nothing to toggle and no divert delay when an attack starts — filtering is already in the path.

Keep Your Users' Real IP Addresses

GRE tunnelling preserves the original source IPs, so your application still sees who your users actually are.

Real source IPs preserved

A GRE tunnel forwards packets with the client's original source address intact. Your server sees the true visitor IP, not a shared proxy address.

Accurate logging & geo

Analytics, geolocation and audit logs keep working normally, because the addresses your application records are the addresses your users actually connect from.

Rate-limiting & abuse tools

Per-IP rate limits, bans and fraud checks stay effective. You are not rate-limiting a scrubbing proxy — you are acting on the real client.

No proxy blind spot

IP-rewriting proxy protection often hides the client behind its own address. Edge scrubbing over GRE gives you mitigation without that visibility loss.

In-Region European DDoS Protection, Done Right

Europe is one of the busiest regions on the internet for gaming, hosting, ecommerce and SaaS — and it is a constant target for volumetric and application-layer attacks. The weakness in most global DDoS offerings is geography. Providers concentrate their filtering capacity in a handful of scrubbing centres, then reroute your traffic to reach one. When that centre sits outside Europe, every packet takes a detour out of the region and back. The detour is invisible on a normal day and painfully obvious under attack, when the added round-trip latency shows up as lag, stutter and dropped sessions for your European users.

Sucura keeps the scrubbing where the users are. Our European anti-DDoS filters attack traffic inside the region at the Frankfurt DDoS protection edge, one of the continent's densest interconnection points. Because we scrub in-region, clean traffic never has to leave Europe to be filtered, and your origin sees only the result. That is the whole point of always-on anycast at the edge: a flood is absorbed the moment it lands, on the shortest path, instead of being carried across an ocean to a distant centre and carried back. The contrast with cloud-backhaul mitigation is measured in tens of milliseconds — the difference between a game or a real-time app that stays playable under attack and one that does not.

Getting protected does not mean moving your infrastructure. You keep your existing server, host and provider, and choose how your traffic reaches the scrubbing edge. If you run your own IP space, announce your prefix to AS398999 over a real BGP session and route your inbound through our network first. If you do not, terminate a GRE, VXLAN or WireGuard tunnel from the Frankfurt edge to your origin and take a clean, protected IP from us. GRE in particular preserves your users' real source addresses, so your application still logs, geolocates and rate-limits on the true client IP rather than a shared proxy — a detail that IP-rewriting proxy protection usually costs you. Both paths are IRR- and RPKI-aware and both are configured directly from the Nexus panel, self-service, with no quote gate. This is the same self-serve model behind our Remote DDoS protection — protect a server you host anywhere, no migration required.

Mitigation runs across Layers 3, 4 and 7, always-on. Volumetric SYN, UDP and ICMP floods and reflection or amplification attacks are dropped at the edge; protocol attacks that exhaust state are filtered in-line; and Layer 7 abuse that mimics real users is caught with protocol-aware rules. Detection is sub-second, so there is no divert window and nothing to switch on when an attack begins. It is built for the people who actually get hit: European game servers, hosting providers, ecommerce stores, SaaS platforms and streamers who cannot afford to go dark or laggy the moment someone points a botnet at them. Pair it with a protected Frankfurt VPS if you want the origin in-region too.

Pricing is transparent and in USD, with plans from $25/mo to $500/mo, usage-based scrubbing at $0.05 per GB, and per-hour billing so you are never locked into a large monthly commit. Start on a free trial, deploy a protected tunnel or BGP session, and convert it to a paid subscription in place with no teardown when you are ready. Frankfurt anchors Europe the same way Singapore DDoS protection anchors our Asia DDoS protection footprint and Toronto anchors North America — one anycast network, scrubbed in the region where your users are.

Europe DDoS Protection FAQ

Common questions about in-region anti-DDoS across Europe.

Do I have to move my server to you to get European DDoS protection?

No. You keep your server exactly where it is. Protect any European host by announcing your own prefix to our AS398999 over BGP, or by terminating a GRE, VXLAN or WireGuard tunnel from our Frankfurt edge to a protected IP we provide. There is no migration and no re-platforming to switch on.

How much latency does protection add for European traffic?

Very little, because we scrub in-region. European traffic is filtered at our Frankfurt edge rather than backhauled to a distant scrubbing centre, so clean packets stay on short in-region paths. Cloud services that route European traffic out of the region and back can add tens of milliseconds; in-region scrubbing avoids that penalty.

Do I need my own IP space, or can I use a protected IP from you?

Either works. If you have your own /24 you can announce it to AS398999 over BGP (BYOIP). If you do not, terminate a GRE, VXLAN or WireGuard tunnel and we hand you a protected IP to use. Both options are self-service from the Nexus panel, with no sales gate.

What kinds of attacks do you mitigate?

We filter Layer 3 and Layer 4 volumetric and protocol floods, such as SYN, UDP, ICMP and reflection or amplification attacks, as well as Layer 7 application abuse that mimics real users. Detection is sub-second and mitigation is always-on, so there is nothing to toggle when an attack begins.

Will my application still see my users' real IP addresses?

Yes. With a GRE tunnel the original source IPs are preserved, so your application still sees each user's true client address for logging, geolocation, rate-limiting and abuse handling. You get edge scrubbing without losing the visibility that IP-rewriting proxy protection usually takes away.

How much does European DDoS protection cost?

Plans run from $25/mo to $500/mo in USD, and usage-based scrubbing is billed at $0.05 per GB. Billing can be per-hour rather than a large monthly commit, and there is a free trial, so you can deploy a protected tunnel and try it before committing to a subscription.
