XDP-Powered Kernel Filtering (L3/L4)
Malicious packets are dropped at the kernel level via eXpress Data Path (XDP/eBPF). L3/L4 SYN and UDP floods and botnet traffic are gone before they cost you a single CPU cycle — sub-1ms filtering overhead.
For Minecraft networks under attack
Kernel-Level DDoS Protection for Minecraft
Block DDoS floods and bot swarms directly at the kernel using XDP/eBPF — before a single packet reaches your server. EU-hosted and fully Geyser cross-play ready.

Features
Built for Minecraft administrators
Every module is built around real Minecraft traffic and the actual attack patterns we've seen hit our own servers.
02
Geyser & Bedrock Cross-Play Native
Full Java Edition and Bedrock cross-play support, sitting in front of your BungeeCord, Velocity, Paper or Spigot backend. Your players feel no difference.
03
Deep Packet Inspection — Minecraft-Aware Anti-Bot
BlackProtect understands the Minecraft protocol, filtering bot swarms, botnet joins and spoofed sessions in real time with true Layer 7 anti-bot mitigation.
04
VPN & Proxy Blocking with Origin-IP Protection
Block VPN and proxy connections before they reach your server, while our edge keeps your origin IP hidden from attackers. PROXY protocol v2 forwards the real player IP to your backend.
Why BlackProtect
Why networks pick us. Instead of US proxies.
Kernel-level filtering is our foundation. Four reasons serious infrastructure teams move their edge to BlackProtect.

Our Story
Built by Admins, For Admins
BlackProtect didn't start in a boardroom — it started because our own Minecraft server kept getting knocked offline, and every 'enterprise' DDoS solution we found either didn't understand Minecraft or cost more per month than our entire server budget. So we built our own kernel-level filter instead. Today we run it for our own network, and we're opening it up to yours: transparent, fast, and priced like something a solo admin could actually afford.
Under 5 minutes. Connect your domain, point a CNAME record to 'front-fra.blackprotect.net' (set Cloudflare to 'DNS only / grey cloud') — done. No plugin installation on your backend servers whatsoever.
Sub-1ms filtering overhead. Because malicious packets are dropped at the kernel via XDP/eBPF, legitimate players see no measurable ping increase compared to a direct connection to your backend.
Yes. Traffic routes through our edge nodes, so your origin IP is never exposed to players or attackers. PROXY protocol v2 forwards the real client IP to your backend for correct player addressing.
Yes. Full support for Geyser and Bedrock cross-play. Java and Bedrock players connect through the same protected edge with no difference in experience.
100% in the EU. Filtering nodes run in Frankfurt and Hamburg, Germany, with GDPR-native data handling — a compliance factor US-based proxies cannot match.
BlackProtect is currently in an invite-only pilot phase for selected networks. Apply through the pilot card above or reach out directly via Discord. Once approved, you'll receive an invite token to activate your account. Free during the pilot.
