SourShield -- DDoS Mitigation

SourShield is SOUR.HOST’s always-on DDoS mitigation platform designed specifically for Minecraft. It protects your server from L3/L4 floods and game-targeted disruption without kicking real players or increasing latency. With integrated controls in your panel, you can monitor attacks in real time and apply per-server protection policies instantly.

Key Benefits

• Always-on protection against volumetric and targeted attacks

• Built for Minecraft — preserves handshakes, keepalives, and chunks

• Low latency mitigation through optimized routing and scrubbing

• Live analytics and manual controls inside your panel

• Custom allow/deny rules, connection caps, and region filtering

• 99.99% uptime SLA with automatic failover

How SourShield Works

1. Incoming traffic first hits a scrubbing point-of-presence

2. Malicious packets are filtered using signature and behavior detection

3. Clean traffic is delivered to your node with minimal added latency

4. Your dashboard shows attack size, type, and mitigation status in real time

What It Protects Against

• UDP floods, TCP floods, and amplification attacks

• Bot-based handshake spam and connection floods

• Invalid packet spam targeting Minecraft query/handshake

• Proxy-based spoofing and ASN abuse attempts

Why It’s Better for Minecraft

Unlike generic DDoS protection, SourShield understands Minecraft traffic patterns. That means real players stay connected while attacks are stripped out — no mass disconnects, no false positives, no downtime.
