How to Manage DDoS Mitigation Rules (Add Filters)

Introduction

Protecting your server from malicious traffic is a priority at Curt Creation. You can easily apply specific filter presets to your authorized IP addresses through our dedicated Layer Portal.

• Volumetric Attack Defense

  Protection against bandwidth-consuming attacks including UDP floods, amplification attacks, and other high-volume traffic that can overwhelm networks.

• Protocol Protection

  Defend against TCP SYN floods, fragmented packet attacks, Ping of Death, and other attacks that target network protocol vulnerabilities.

• Application Layer Security

  Advanced protection against Layer 7 attacks targeting web applications, including HTTP floods, slow attacks, and request-based attacks.

• Real-time Analytics

  Comprehensive dashboards showing attack metrics, mitigation actions, and traffic patterns to understand attack vectors and protection effectiveness.

• Intelligent Rate Limiting

  Automatically control connection rates and request frequencies to prevent service degradation during targeted application attacks.

• Custom Rule Engine

  Create tailored protection rules specific to your applications and traffic patterns for optimized security and performance.

Guide on how to add filters in our Layer Portal:

1. Log in to the Curt Creation Client Area.

2. Navigate to Layer in the top navigation and click Filters.
   

   

3. On the Filters tab, you'll see a list of your IP addresses along with their current status and how many filters are applied. Find the IP you want to configure.

4. Click the Configure buton.

5. In the Configure Filters panel, click the + Add Filter button. From the Select Preset dropdown, choose the filter that matches your use case.

6. Enter the Port number your service runs on.

7. Click + Add to apply the filter, or Cancel to discard.

8. Once added, your filters will appear in a table showing the Filter name, Protocol, Port, and an Actions column. You can remove any filter at any time by clicking the red delete button next to it.

Tips:

• Always ensure filters match the correct protocol and port for your service. For example, a standard FiveM server uses both FiveM UDP and FiveM TCP on port 30120.

• If your IP shows a status of Unconfigured, it has no active filters and is not yet protected — add your filters as soon as possible.

• You can search through your active filters using the Search filters bar at the top of the panel.
