# How YN HOSTING DDoS protection works

https://yn-hosting.com/knowledgebase/article/how-yn-hosting-ddos-protection-works

Every game server runs behind **layered, always-on DDoS protection** at no extra cost.

- **Edge scrubbing** absorbs large volumetric floods far from your server.
- **Inline filtering** at the origin drops malicious packets in real time.
- **Low-latency mitigation** keeps your ping flat so matches stay smooth under attack.

There’s nothing to switch on — protection is active the moment your server is created.
