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
  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?

Sons of the Forest comes in 4 sizes: 3 GB (recommended for 2 players) at $7.85 a month (first term, then $11.33), 4 GB (recommended for 4 players) at $9.99 a month, 6 GB (recommended for 8 players) at $14.99 a month and 8 GB (recommended for 13 players) at $20.00 a month (first term, then $28.78). The picker above recommends one for your player count, 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. 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?

The sequel shares its modding foundation with The Forest — BepInEx-based community mods. Same install pattern: loader once, then drop in plugins.

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.

Your world is waiting in Germany.
