Not another freemium proxy.
How BlackProtect stacks up against the two kinds of Minecraft DDoS protection most teams evaluate. An honest comparison by capability, not by name.
The legacy reverse-proxy
The established, US-based freemium proxy most networks start with. Solid filtering, but self-serve support and US-based data handling.
Freemium anti-bot providers
Feature-rich free tiers, community-driven. Great to start with, but variable support and no real SLA when it counts.

EU-hosted, GDPR-native
Your traffic and data stay in the EU. A real procurement factor the US incumbents can't match.
Real support, real SLA
A named contact and response-time guarantees, not a community queue. Something a free tier can't structurally offer.
