Setup

GameShield is a modern and futuristic DDoS-protection service for your project. It helps a lot of people and projects to fully drop any malicious traffic going to their servers.

So, how to setup it? It’s very simple, let’s do it together!

  1. First of all, you need to register at our cabinet at https://gameshield.io. Registration is very simple and doesn't need any help with it. If you have any problems, contact us at any support place.
  2. You should create a new project. You can do it by pressing a button "Add Network" here.
  3. Your project must have at least 1 domain to be connected to GameShield infrastructure. To connect it you need to navigate to "Domains" tab of your project. Then click "Create a new domain". You will be asked to enter your domain name, do it. After that, navigate to your domain provider and add a CNAME record with content that is shown to you on "Domains" tab in "Step 1" section.
  4. Your project must have at least 1 backend. Your backend server must support HaProxy protocol. It's already done in Velocity and BungeeCord. If you are using Spigot/Paper/Folia, etc., you should download and install our plugin here. If you are sure that your backend supports this protocol, you need to navigate to "Backends" tab of your project, then press "Create a new backend" and enter your backend's address and port.
  5. After all, you need to return to "Domains" tab and select the added backend to your domain.
  6. Profit! You can connect to your server using domain you entered.
