Question 1

How fast is the setup?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How much latency does BlackProtect add?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Does it protect my server's real IP address?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Is BlackProtect compatible with Geyser and Bedrock cross-play?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Full support for Geyser and Bedrock cross-play. Java and Bedrock players connect through the same protected edge with no difference in experience.

Question 5

Where is my traffic hosted?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

How do I get an invite?

Accepted Answer

BlackProtect is currently in an invite-only pilot phase for selected networks. Apply through the pilot card or reach out via Discord. Once approved, you receive an invite token to activate your account. Free during the pilot.
