What to do when a game server is attacked and how to protect it

Attacks on game servers may result in slow running, crashing or inaccessibility of the game, so some protective measures need to be taken to ensure the stable operation of game servers. The following are some common protective measures:

Use DDoS protection service: DDoS attack is one of the most common game server attacks, you can use DDoS protection service to identify and block high traffic attack requests to protect the game server from being attacked.

Use WAF protection: A Web Application Firewall (WAF) can detect and prevent many web attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting attacks (XSS). Using a WAF on the game server can help identify and block these attacks.

Implement Security Authentication Measures: Implementing security authentication measures on game servers, such as restricting access to IP addresses or using complex passwords, can prevent unauthorized users from accessing game servers, thereby reducing potential attacks.

Enhance server security: Regularly update the server operating system and game software, close unused ports and services, and use secure protocols and encryption to minimize the risk of game servers being attacked.
