DDoS Protection

Hetzner bundles network-level DDoS filtering directly into every server instance, handling traffic scrubbing at the infrastructure layer without requiring separate configuration or additional fees. This always-on protection operates transparently, mitigating volumetric attacks before they reach your application stack, effectively removing the need for third-party mitigation services for standard threats.

This setup suits teams prioritizing simplicity and predictable infrastructure costs, as the security layer is baked into the base server price. The trade-off is the lack of a distinct free tier or standalone trial; you must provision a paid server to access the protection, which might feel restrictive for projects needing isolated security testing without committing to full compute resources.
