Five-layer DDoS defense

Lag-free, even under attack.

Game servers are DDoS magnets: a rival server, a banned player or a bored kid can flood yours. Every Nxeon game server sits behind the Nxeon Shield, so attack traffic is scrubbed before it ever reaches your world.

Nxeon Shield

Diagram: traffic from the internet passes through Cloudflare, AWS Shield, Azure DDoS Protection, OVHcloud VAC and NX Sentinel. Attack traffic is removed at each layer, and only clean traffic reaches your isolated server.

  1. 01Global Anycast EdgeCloudflare · L3 · L4 · L7

    Floods are absorbed across a planet-scale anycast network, hundreds of cities deep, long before they reach our regions.

  2. 02Hyperscale Flood AbsorptionAWS Shield · L3 · L4

    Elastic hyperscale capacity soaks up SYN floods, UDP reflection and amplification attacks at the network layer.

  3. 03Adaptive Traffic ProfilingAzure DDoS Protection · L3 · L4

    Machine-learned traffic baselines tune mitigation to each workload in real time, with no manual thresholds to babysit.

  4. 04Game-Grade ScrubbingOVHcloud VAC · L3 · L4 · UDP

    Purpose-built UDP filtering keeps game ticks smooth and players connected, even in the middle of an attack.

  5. 05ProprietaryNX Sentinel™Nxeon · L3 to L7

    Our in-house engine fingerprints every flow, applies zero-trust packet inspection and adaptive rate-shaping, and self-tunes firewall rules the moment attack patterns shift.

Before you deploy

The questions people ask right before they start.

Which size do I need?

Core Keeper comes in 4 sizes: 2 GB (recommended for 6 players) at $4.99 a month, 4 GB (recommended for 8 players) at $7.99 a month, 6 GB (recommended for 8 players) at $11.99 a month and 8 GB (recommended for 8 players) at $15.35 a month (first term, then $22.06). The picker above recommends one for your player count and mods, and you can resize later.

Will my server lag?

Your server runs on NVMe hardware in Falkenstein, DE, and the size picker recommends enough memory for your players and mods. If you grow, resize from the panel in a click.

What happens if my server gets attacked?

Every game server sits behind the Nxeon Shield: five layers of DDoS filtering that scrub attack traffic before it reaches your world.

Are my worlds backed up?

Switch on scheduled backups in your server’s panel and it keeps the last 2 daily restore points, ready to roll back to.

Can I install mods and plugins?

Core Keeper mods are distributed via Thunderstore and load through BepInEx. Install the loader, drop mods into the plugins folder over SFTP, restart.

Can I change size later?

Yes. Resize from the panel whenever your community is ready.

Do you offer custom servers for big communities?

Yes. If you need more than 8 GB, a network of linked servers or dedicated hardware, talk to us and we’ll size and quote a custom setup.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There’s no lock-in.
