GAME firewall upgrade | advanced filter

[MikeRuSe]

Opening individual issue for adding advanced option to "other" game firewall profile. "Other" Game profile might include an advanced option that has action at UDP based traffic, where customers can specify and tweak parameters such as: -> Min packet (headers included) or payload length -> Max packet (headers included) or payload length -> Allowed src ports range based on dst port (by default ephemeral ports 1025-65535, but this can be tweaked) -> Packets per second per source IP https://github.com/ovh/infrastructure-roadmap/issues/135 @jslocinski

Can the specified tweak parameters in the post be available for all profiles too and not only for Other. If ever considered, such tweaks should be available to all profiles. Will be good addition 👍

That's most wanting feature, I've been waiting for it 4+ years. What about TCP based traffic? Can I have at least some hope?

This is definitely what we need

Hello,

I own 6-10 servers in OVH, with MMO game, which is not supported by OVH GAME firewall, and I"m suffering from DDoS attacks often.

What whould help for sure, is:

Ability define following parameters for TCP based traffic: -> Min packet (headers included) or payload length -> Max packet (headers included) or payload length -> Packets per second per source IP

Guys, to be able to prioritize, which one would be the very MVP as a top prio: a/ min-max packet length b/ src port acl per dst port c/ pps per src IP d/ tcp & udp support ?

[master-toma]

Hello,

min-max packet length is n1 prio for my use cases.

[Docker0012]

min-max packet length would be cool

[LightShockDev]

I hope on Min-Max packet length

[mrglbroc]

Hello, min-max packet length 🙏

[Gawnz1]

A) min-max packet length - MVP C) pps per src IP - 2nd ..

For me.

Required for GTAV: RAGEMP servers on unsupported client

1- PPS 2- BPS 3- Min-Max Packet Length

[lol10801lol]

min-max, then PPS, please 🙏

[gegtor]

Packet length and PPS is a good start but ideally we would like to have full set of tools that OVH VAC team has so we can respond to incidents faster

Competing providers are starting to offer very granular control over filtering

Here is an example:

Thanks for the insights. Just for a sake of clarity, let's not mix here those two topics: Anti-DDoS Infrastructure (VAC) and GAME DDoS Protection (or simply GAME-firewall). While first one is OVHcloud ASN inbound-only, globally distributed, L3-L4, close to the source, the second one is fine-grain, full L7, close-to-destination and no jitter.

We work on evolution of both systems based on your requests, and relevant VAC issues can be found or created.
