Gateway Sentry — DDoS Protection & Pre-Protected KVM VPS
Hey LowEndTalk!
We're Gateway Sentry, and our primary focus is reliable DDoS protection built on a custom BGP-anycast network spanning 5 PoPs (Denver, Los Angeles, Chicago, Amsterdam, and Singapore). All mitigation is performed in-house using XDP for line-speed packet filtering, capable of absorbing up to 2.1 Tbps of attack traffic.
We also offer KVM VPS plans as a bonus for those who want hosting + protection bundled (see bottom of post).
Why Gateway Sentry for DDoS Protection?

- Line-Speed Mitigation: Custom XDP-based filtering at the kernel level. No slowdowns.
- 2.1+ Tbps Capacity: Absorb large-scale volumetric attacks without breaking a sweat.
- Fair Billing: Only legitimate traffic is billed. Attack bandwidth is on us.
