In game hosting, generic DDoS protection is often insufficient for every node or service. Especially for Database Servers, Storage Nodes, and environments involving raw data processing, heavy deep-packet inspection poses a significant risk of packet loss.
To safeguard these high-risk backend services, we utilize the Multi IP Layer Network Shielding deployment model—an architectural defense system that prevents a single IP failure from taking down the entire node.
For nodes with basic DDoS protection or those at risk of direct IP blackholing, CloudLaag creates an IP Decoupling Layer.
- Dedicated Node IP (Hidden): When a VPS or Node is deployed, it is assigned a primary Dedicated IP that is never publicly exposed.
When a heavy DDoS attack targets a specific user or server, only that particular Public IP is temporarily blackholed or rotated. The main CloudLaag VPS Node and clients on other IPs remain 100% online.
The impact of an attack is confined to a small segment. This ensures that the main Node's bandwidth is not drained and prevents CPU/RAM spikes on the overall VPS.
Heavy active firewall filtering can cause data packet drops on Database (MySQL/MongoDB) and Storage sync nodes. This shielding setup allows CloudLaag to protect your backend data without relying on aggressive packet filtering.
- Detection: Upon an attack, the CloudLaag detection layer identifies the targeted Public IP.
- Containment: The system isolates the affected Public IP.
- Hot-Swapping / Rotation: If necessary, affected clients are allocated a clean alternative IP, while the main backend node continues processing without interruption.
