How Does a VPN Provide DDOS Protection?

If you are, or previously were, an avid online gamer you most likely know what a DDoS attack is and most importantly how frustrating these can be. In fact, if you’re a PlayStation Network or Xbox Liveuser, then this is unfortunately part of your daily vocabulary, but truth is that this doesn’t only happen to the gaming community as it can affect any online service, including major corporations and small businesses. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have existed for years now and nowadays are so advanced that they’ve become much more complex, harder to fight against and easier to launch than ever.

How VPNs can prevent DDoS

Fortunately, VPNs are online super heroes that will prevent all crime in every dark alley of this vast digital world. TorGuard for instance, is one of the strongest providers in DDoS prevention as it offers dedicated IP VPN services in Romania with DDoS protection available. This feature is brought to you via a paid add-on; as soon as you get it, all you need is to connect to the DDoS protected VPN IP. According to the company, features such as “Auto blocking any abusive incoming traffic” and “industry leading DDoS mitigation technology” among others, will make you forget about this kind of attacks.

PureVPN, one of the most appreciated providers out there, also aims for DDoS attack prevention as it offers protection via dedicated Canadian and French IPs as a paid add-on. The company assures some key features such as protection against an unlimited number of all kinds of DDoS attacks also for unlimited duration, with mitigation points across Central Europe and North America and many others.
