How to Activate DDoS Protection

You have to order a DDoS-filtered IP in order to receive DDoS protection. This can be done on the initial VPS order form or in the Client Area. To order from the Client Area, go to Services > View Available Addons. Select the filtered IP Addon and the VPS to which you want it applied, then complete your order. Please give us up to 24 hours to assign your filtered IP after payment is received. You will be able to find your IP in the SolusVM CP once we email you that it is ready. You can open a ticket if you need the IP more urgently or if you want to pay for it on a different cycle.
