Game Servers: High-Defense IP or High-Defense CDN? Split Modules by Protocol and Layer Your Access
Most games don't need to choose between high-defense IP and high-defense CDN; this article splits game services by protocol into Web modules and real-time connection modules, explains which modules use high-defense CDN and which use high-defense IP or game shield, and provides key points for combined deployment and the access sequence when under attack.
Can High-Defense CDN Stop CC Attacks? How It Blocks, When It Fails, and Post-Setup Checks
High-defense CDN can stop CC attacks, but two conditions must be met: edge nodes must have Layer 7 scrubbing capabilities, and the origin must only be accessible via the CDN. This article explains the four methods high-defense CDN uses to block CC attacks, lists four common failure scenarios—origin IP exposure, dynamic interface penetration, challenge misfires, and non-HTTP traffic—and provides a post-setup self-check sequence and key questions to ask when choosing a provider.
High-Defense IP vs. High-Defense CDN: Which Is Cheaper? Check Business Protocol First, Then Calculate Base, Elastic, and Acceleration Costs
For web and API businesses, high-defense CDN usually has lower initial and long-term costs than high-defense IP. For Layer 4 TCP/UDP businesses like games and long connections, ordinary high-defense CDN cannot be used, leaving only high-defense IP or game shield. This article breaks down the billing items of both, points out common overspending like high-defense IP elastic protection fees and CDN billed by traffic being inflated by CC attacks, and lists questions to ask when getting quotes.
Can Anti-DDoS IP and Anti-DDoS CDN Be Used Together: Two Combined Architectures, Configuration Essentials, and Selection Criteria
Anti-DDoS IP and Anti-DDoS CDN can be used together, typically in a chained defense-in-depth setup or protocol-based traffic splitting. This article explains which business types suit each architecture, how to configure whitelists and real IP passthrough in a chain, how much complexity, latency, troubleshooting, and cost are added by stacking both layers, and when a single integrated solution is sufficient for ordinary web businesses.
How to Choose Between Cloud WAF and Hardware WAF: Use Cases, Pros and Cons, and Selection Criteria
Compare cloud WAF and hardware WAF across five aspects: deployment, DDoS/CC capacity, operations, cost structure, and compliance controls. The article explains which business scenarios each suits, issues to watch in hybrid deployments, and conditions to verify before purchasing, helping website, gaming, API, and payment business owners decide which to choose.
