How to Enable DDoS Protection on a Vultr Optimized Cloud Compute Instance
Learn how to enable DDoS protection on your Vultr Optimized Cloud Compute instance to safeguard against distributed denial-of-service attacks.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection enables traffic monitoring and prevents potential DDoS attacks to an instance. It activates a set of tools that detect and block network flooding attempts, ensuring the instance remains active and operational.
Follow this guide to enable DDoS protection on a Vultr Optimized Cloud Compute instance using the Vultr Customer Portal, or Terraform.
Vultr Customer Portal
- Navigate to Products and click Compute.
- Click your target Vultr Optimized Cloud Compute instance to open its management page.
- Navigate to the DDoS tab.
- Click Enable DDoS Protection.
- Click Enable DDoS Protection in the confirmation prompt to enable DDoS protection on your instance.
Terraform
- Open your Terraform configuration for the existing Optimized Cloud Compute instance.
- Enable DDoS protection in the instance resource.
terraform
resource "vultr_instance" "occ" { # ...existing fields (region, plan, os_id, label, etc.) ddos_protection = true }
- Apply the configuration and observe the following output:
Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 1 changed, 0 destroyed.
