Anti-DDoS Events is a section in the Hostinger dashboard that shows the Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) protection activity on your Hostinger VPS. When your VPS receives a DDoS attack, Hostinger detects it automatically and either filters the malicious traffic or, if the attack is severe enough, null-routes the affected IP address to protect the rest of the network. To review these events, open Security<\/strong>, then Anti-DDoS Events<\/strong>, check the event type, and, if null routes keep recurring, place a Content Delivery Network (CDN), reverse proxy, or Web Application Firewall (WAF) in front of your server.<\/p>
