Quick Answer

Frankfurt DDoS protection from Sucura Networks filters attack traffic at our Frankfurt scrubbing edge, keeping German and Central-European users low-latency and scrubbing traffic inside the EU. Protect a server hosted with us, or keep your own host and connect over BGP or a GRE, VXLAN or WireGuard tunnel. L3, L4 and L7 mitigation from $25 per month plus $0.05 per GB, with a free trial.

Why Frankfurt-Edge Scrubbing

Generic cloud DDoS services backhaul European traffic to a distant scrubbing center. We scrub in Frankfurt, so Germany and Central Europe stay fast — and stay inside the EU.

In-Region Scrubbing

Filtering happens at the Frankfurt edge, not across an ocean — clean traffic stays on the shortest path to German and EU users.

EU Data Residency

European traffic is scrubbed on EU soil rather than routed abroad, a practical, GDPR-friendly advantage for teams with residency concerns.

Self-Service BGP

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

Per-Hour Billing

Pay by the hour or $0.05/GB scrubbed, not a heavy enterprise minimum. Transparent USD pricing with a free trial.

Frankfurt: Europe's Connectivity Heart for Scrubbing

Frankfurt sits at the crossroads of European networks, which is exactly why it is the right place to filter attack traffic bound for German and Central-European destinations.

One of Europe's most interconnected hubs

Frankfurt carries extensive European peering and a large share of the continent's traffic. Scrubbing at that crossroads means floods are met close to where European eyeballs actually are, instead of being dragged to another continent and back.

Short paths across Central Europe

From Frankfurt, German, Austrian, Swiss and Benelux users are only a short hop away. When traffic is scrubbed here, clean packets return over the shortest path, so the people you serve keep low, stable latency even during an attack.

Floods absorbed in-region

A volumetric flood aimed at a European target lands and dies at the Frankfurt edge. There is no cross-ocean backhaul to a foreign scrubbing site, so the attack never traverses the long paths that add latency and jitter for legitimate users.

Always-On Anycast at the Frankfurt Edge

Protection is not a switch you flip after an attack has already started — it is always on, and the anycast routing that steers users to Frankfurt is the same routing that steers attackers into the scrubber.

Always inspecting, never idle

Every packet destined for your protected IP is inspected at the Frankfurt edge continuously. There is nothing to arm when trouble begins, and no window where a burst slips through first. Detection is sub-second, so the response is effectively immediate.

Anycast pulls users to the nearest edge

The same anycast announcement that brings a European visitor to Frankfurt also brings an attacker's flood there. Traffic is filtered where it enters the network, so a European target is defended in Europe, not by a distant site that has to notice and react.

No manual toggling under fire

Because mitigation is continuous and automatic, you are not paging an on-call engineer to enable something at 3 a.m. The Frankfurt edge is already scrubbing; your job during an incident is to watch it hold.

Hosted vs Remote Protection

Two honest paths to a protected server in Frankfurt: host it with us, or keep your own German or EU host and protect it remotely. Both are self-service in the Nexus panel, and neither requires a migration you do not want.

Host it on our Frankfurt VPS

Spin up a Frankfurt VPS on our Ryzen 9 9950X platform and it is protected on the same network, in the same city, with nothing extra to wire up. It is the simplest path to a hosted-and-protected server, with compute and scrubbing in one place in the EU.

Keep your host, protect it remotely

Already running on a German or EU provider you like? Leave it there. Announce your prefix to AS398999 via BGP, or terminate a GRE, VXLAN or WireGuard tunnel to a protected IP we provide. Attack traffic is filtered at Frankfurt before it ever reaches your origin, with no server migration.

GRE preserves real source IPs

A GRE tunnel forwards clean traffic to your origin while preserving your users' real source addresses. That matters for logging, geo-rules, abuse handling and analytics — you protect the box without losing visibility into who is actually connecting to it.

BGP and BYOIP for your own space

If you hold your own /24, announce it to AS398999 and route it through the Frankfurt scrubbing edge. Inbound traffic is cleaned first and returned to you over the tunnel. Our IRR and RPKI-aware setup keeps the announcement clean and routable.

One Anycast Network — Toronto · Frankfurt · Singapore

Frankfurt is the European node in a global anycast anti-DDoS network. BGP routes every user to the nearest edge, and a volumetric flood is absorbed in-region instead of hammering one distant site. North America hits Toronto, Europe hits Frankfurt, and Asia-Pacific hits Singapore — scrubbed where you are, with no cross-ocean backhaul.

EU Data Residency — GDPR-Friendly Scrubbing

When your users are in Europe and their traffic is scrubbed in Frankfurt, that traffic stays inside the EU. For teams that answer data-residency questions, that is a genuine, defensible advantage of an in-region edge.

Scrubbed on EU soil

European visitors routing to the Frankfurt edge are filtered in-region. Their traffic is inspected and cleaned inside the EU rather than backhauled to another continent, keeping the data path where privacy-conscious European customers expect it.

A fair, honest residency angle

We do not oversell this as a legal guarantee, but the practical reality is straightforward: choosing the Frankfurt edge means your European scrubbing happens in Europe. For GDPR-minded teams, keeping that step on EU soil is one fewer cross-border hop to explain in a review.

Pairs with EU-hosted compute

Put your workload on our Frankfurt VPS and both the hosting and the scrubbing sit in the EU. For a European audience that wants its server, its data and its DDoS filtering all in-region, that is a clean, consistent story to tell.

What We Mitigate — L3 / L4 / L7

SucuraGuard filters volumetric and protocol attacks at the network edge and application-layer abuse with protocol-aware rules. Detection is sub-second, and mitigation is always-on.

Layer 3 / 4 volumetric floods

SYN, UDP and ICMP floods, amplification and reflection attacks are dropped at the Frankfurt edge before they reach your origin. These blunt, high-volume attacks meant to saturate a link are stopped in-region, not carried across the network first.

Protocol abuse

Malformed packets, state-exhaustion tricks and protocol-level abuse designed to tie up connection tables are filtered with rules that understand how each protocol is supposed to behave, so the exhaustion attempt never gets to consume resources on your server.

Layer 7 application attacks

HTTP floods and application-layer abuse that mimic real users are filtered with protocol-aware logic that separates genuine requests from automated abuse, keeping your application responsive for the people who are actually trying to use it.

Frankfurt DDoS Protection Pricing

Straightforward USD tiers with generous, scaling clean-traffic capacity. Usage-based scrubbing at $0.05/GB, hourly billing available. Every tier includes L3/L4/L7 mitigation, GRE/VXLAN/WireGuard tunnels or BGP, and sub-second detection.

Pair With a Frankfurt VPS

The simplest hosted-and-protected setup in the EU: run your server on our Frankfurt VPS and let it ride on the same network that scrubs its traffic.

Ryzen 9 9950X compute

Our Frankfurt VPS runs on modern Ryzen 9 9950X hardware, so you get fast single-thread performance for game servers, web apps and control panels right next to the scrubbing edge that protects them.

Protected on the same platform

Host on the Frankfurt VPS and DDoS protection lives on the same network, in the same city. There is no separate origin to tunnel back to and no external host to coordinate with — the compute and the scrubbing are one deployment.

Compute and scrubbing in the EU

For a European audience, this keeps both your workload and your DDoS filtering in-region. It is the cleanest way to answer a residency question: the server is in Frankfurt, and so is the scrubbing that defends it.

Self-Service and Free Trial

Deploy protection yourself in minutes, try it for free, and convert to a paid subscription in place — no teardown, no long contract, no quote gate.

Deploy it yourself

Everything is self-service in the Nexus panel. Create a tunnel or set up a BGP session, get your protected IP, and route your traffic through Frankfurt without waiting on a sales call or an onboarding queue.

Start on a free trial

Spin up a protected tunnel on a trial and see how it behaves with your real traffic before you commit. When you are ready, the trial converts to a paid subscription in place, so there is no teardown and nothing to rebuild.

No enterprise minimum

You are not signing up for a heavy monthly commitment to get real mitigation. Per-hour billing and $0.05/GB usage-based scrubbing mean the cost scales with what you actually use, starting at $25/mo.

Frankfurt DDoS Protection FAQ

Common questions about anti-DDoS in Frankfurt, Germany and the wider EU.

Can I protect a server I already host in Germany, or do I have to move it?

You can keep it exactly where it is. Point your existing German or EU host at our Frankfurt edge by announcing your own prefix via BGP, or by terminating a GRE, VXLAN or WireGuard tunnel to a protected IP we provide. Nothing migrates, and setup is self-service in the Nexus panel.

Is attack traffic scrubbed inside the EU for data residency?

Yes. When European users route to our Frankfurt edge, filtering happens in-region, so their traffic is scrubbed inside the EU rather than backhauled across an ocean. For teams that care about GDPR-friendly data residency, keeping scrubbing on EU soil is a practical, honest advantage of an in-region edge.

How much latency does Frankfurt DDoS protection add?

Very little for European users. Because scrubbing happens at the Frankfurt edge instead of a distant scrubbing center, clean traffic stays on the shortest path to German and Central-European users. Generic cloud services that backhaul traffic elsewhere typically 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 hold your own /24 you can announce it to AS398999 via BGP (BYOIP). If you do not, take a protected IP from us and terminate a tunnel to it — a GRE tunnel also preserves your users' real source IPs. Both paths are self-service in the Nexus panel.

What attacks do you mitigate?

We filter Layer 3 and Layer 4 volumetric and protocol floods — SYN, UDP, ICMP, amplification and reflection — at the network edge, and Layer 7 application abuse with protocol-aware rules. Detection is sub-second and mitigation is always-on, so there is no manual toggle to flip when an attack starts.

How much does Frankfurt DDoS protection cost?

Plans run from $25/mo to $500/mo in USD, with usage-based scrubbing at $0.05 per GB and optional per-hour billing. There is a free trial, and a trial tunnel converts to a paid subscription in place with no teardown. There is no enterprise minimum and no quote gate.
