Guides

Multilingual guides for cloud servers, VPS, DDoS protection, L7 proxy defense, CDN security, scrubbing, BGP mitigation, anycast and gaming infrastructure.

European Digital Sovereignty

EU-jurisdiction infrastructure: German operator, RIPE AS215828, own stack, and DDoS-protected hosting that does not depend on US hyperscalers.

What is a Cloud Server?

Learn how cloud servers work, when to use them, and how they compare to VPS and dedicated infrastructure.

What is a VPS?

Understand virtual private servers, dedicated resources, root access, and how VPS differs from shared or cloud hosting.

What is DDoS Protection?

See how DDoS mitigation filters malicious traffic and protects networks, applications, and public services.

Layer 7 DDoS Protection Guide

Learn how an L7 proxy, WAF rules, bot controls and origin shielding keep HTTP and API services online during application-layer attacks.

CDN DDoS Protection Guide

Understand how CDN caching, edge routing and origin shielding reduce DDoS impact while keeping websites fast worldwide.

What is a DDoS Scrubbing Center?

See how scrubbing centers inspect traffic, remove malicious packets and forward clean traffic to networks and servers.

BGP DDoS Protection Guide

Learn how BGP-routed mitigation, GRE tunnels, route announcements and blackholing protect IP networks from large floods.

Anycast DDoS Protection Guide

Understand how anycast spreads traffic across multiple PoPs to absorb attacks closer to their source.

DDoS Protection for Game Servers

Protect Minecraft, Counter-Strike, Rust, voice and UDP-heavy game servers without adding avoidable latency.

Network knowhow

Technical deep dives on TCP/UDP ports, routing protocols and attack vectors - written for operators and hosting teams.

TCP & UDP Ports Explained

Well-known ports, registered services and gaming defaults - what each number means and why DDoS filters care about them.

TCP/IP Explained

How the internet protocol suite layers packets, addresses hosts and delivers data - the foundation behind every DDoS attack vector.

What is BGP?

How Border Gateway Protocol routes the internet and how AS215828 uses BGP for protected transit and DDoS handoff.

What is DNS?

How domain names resolve to IP addresses - and why DNS is both critical infrastructure and a common DDoS target.

SYN Flood Explained

How TCP SYN floods exhaust server resources and how edge filters stop them before your origin fills its connection table.

What is a Firewall?

Packet filters, stateful firewalls and WAFs - where each stops traffic and why DDoS needs more than a firewall alone.

Why TMW loves IPv6

Dual-stack is how AS215828 actually runs: every session, IX port and upstream. Why IPv6 is better engineering - not a product checkbox.
