DDoS Protection Details

DigitalOcean’s DDoS Protection service provides always-on protection from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks for your resources. The service monitors your resources for malicious or questionable volumes of incoming traffic and either mitigates or blocks traffic to the resource until the event has concluded.


The DDoS Protection service provides your applicable resources with automatic DDoS mitigation. The service mitigates attacks at the network (layer 3) and transport (layer 4) layers and covers Droplets, Kubernetes clusters, managed databases, load balancers, and assigned reserved IPs.
DDoS Protection is available and active for all DigitalOcean customers at no additional charge.
