There are many third-party services that offer protection for your server against DDoS attacks, i.e., a certain type of traffic filtering. These services work by redirecting and filtering traffic between the hosting provider's internet and the visitor's internet.
In recent years, such services were in demand until the present moment. The point is that when the internet in general was open and operated without significant blocking, these services coped well with their task. However, due to the large number of blocks on international services and platforms, your website, by using such a service, simply becomes unavailable to regular local visitors from the same city or country, and you lose traffic and profit from your site.
Lately (from mid-2024 to the present), it has been observable that a Russian website doesn't work without a foreign proxy or VPN, even when physically located in the same country. There are plenty of examples, especially when using mobile internet.
The issue is that when using such traffic filtering services, their IP addresses often end up being blocked, as they are used by a large number of sites that are blocked by the state as law-breaking.
At best, the header loads and then a blank page follows. If you check such a site's IP or the DNS servers it uses, it becomes clear - in all cases, a popular traffic filtering service is being used.
If your website generates significant income for you, don't economize by using mass services - use the Rostelecom traffic filtering solution offered by our company. You will get a dedicated DDoS-protected IP address without the need for CAPTCHA, which will best contribute to the growth of your traffic and the comfort of your clients. All traffic will be handled within a unified network, which prevents blocking and false positives.
The service is available for VPS and VDS servers on the order form. Many of our clients have positively assessed the difference in usage.
If you are still using such services, check your website's accessibility from several providers: home, office, and mobile providers.
