DDoS protection: Arbor vs OVH enterprise server

Hi all, any one had experience about Arbor vs OVH enterprise server (anti DDoS included)?
I'm using Arbor but I'm not happy with it.

    What are you trying to protect? What type of applications?

  • Just http/https and plain tcp application

    OVH doesn't offer any layer 7 mitigation, if you just want to protect against the common attacks out there it'll work fine.

  • OVH does L7 on game doesn't they it?

    for UDP game servers. the only L7 for websites (http/https) are via SSL gateway which is like $200/mo~.

    Edit; Either way there's no L7 with his current provider that uses Arbor so I might have just misunderstood.

    You ever used Corero based DDoS protection? Can give you a trial for your application to see if it works for you?

  • I just added CloudFlare business for http/https. Let see how it can help.

    You would have gotten the same type of protection with just CloudFlare pro, saving you $180/m.

    I would like to test your protection too and see if it works for me but are you still offering VPS/Cloud? Can't find them on your website just dedis

    When it comes to Layer7 HTTP mitigation, we might provide one of the best self developed solutions currently on the market - in case you want to check it out, just send me a private message ;-)

    We only do baremetal - are you after VPS/Cloud?

    Yea i am regular victim of ddos thanks for a running a chat website and becoming a DDoS magnet i am being hit daily with all layers of attacks specially layer 7 although site is behind cloudflare but still those attackers found a new way now they resolve your real ip behind cloudflare and hit your default nginx/apache page with thousands of requests every second so even returning a 403 or 444 status doesn't work and makes your webserver hang and the only way to stop these type of attack is at network/firewall level.

    I would love to test your protection if you are still offering VPS or Cloud service because i don't need too much resources for me the most important thing is protection and if there is any feature like being able to edit firewall rules whenever i need.

    Single Core (3 to 4Ghz) and 2-3GB Ram is enough for me.

    Your layer 7 protection includes showing every new visitor a page to test if the user is human?

    So you are comparing Arbor hardware with a complete solution like OVH?

    As far as I remember OVH uses Arbor hardware for a part of their protection. OVH has a huge tanking capacity, because nowadays it's not only about the hardware.

    With all their tanking capacity you can still take down any site hosted on OVH Pro/Game Anti-Ddos protection with a layer 7 attack because OVH can't handle L7 attacks.

    And one more thing i remember from past is that people used OVH to take down OVH :) means attack coming from inside the OVH network to OVH was an easy victory

    Exactly, this is what it does :-) - Automated verifications over javascript based cookie implementations are easy to bypass, it lets the user interact instead. For really hard cases, Captcha's are the best way.
