NetGuard
NetGuard is a self-hosted game protection platform with source-code maintenance and rapid incident response. It delivers unlimited defense capacity with zero false positives, effectively mitigating UDP/TCP floods, DDoS, and CC attacks. It can be deployed on your own servers or in a data center of your choice, giving you full control over the protection infrastructure and your business data. On-demand scaling and traffic encryption help keep apps stable and latency low.
Who It Serves
- App operators: Protect their apps and embedded services in a dedicated environment;
- Solution providers: Build and deliver complete protection systems for app operators.
Use Cases
- Any app with the SDK integrated, including mobile games, PC games, and real-time applications;
- All app traffic over TCP/UDP, including HTTP APIs;
- Dedicated environments across colocation, public cloud, or hybrid cloud;
- Workloads that require dedicated nodes, domains, configuration services, and an administration console.
Core Capabilities
Attack Resilience
Distributed gateways absorb attack traffic and spread app ingress across independent entry points. Add gateways, protected nodes, and networks as traffic and attack volume grow.
Seamless Reconnection
When a node fails or a path degrades, the client moves to an available node and continues the app session, reducing disconnects and repeated logins.
Origin Concealment
Clients connect only to dynamic gateways, while the origin accepts traffic only from approved Shield servers. This reduces exposure and bypass risk.
Intelligent Routing
Assign candidate nodes by country, region, and ISP, then select the fastest stable route based on live connection quality.
Connection Control
Manage connection resources by instance, source IP, device, and concurrency to help origins remain stable under load.
Real Client IP
Private deployments can install a real IP plugin when the application needs client addresses for logs, regional analysis, or access control.
Platform Support

Deployment Options
- Free trial: you provide eligible test servers; NetGuard deploys the nodes and binds them to your trial instance, where you configure forwarding rules and validate the service for one week;
- Private deployment: dedicated gateways, Shield servers, configuration services, and an administration console for app operators or solution providers, built around production requirements.
