Blocking Traffic of a Specified Protocol

Advanced Anti-DDoS offers a one-click mode to block inbound traffic based on protocol type. If you do not deploy UDP services, you are advised to disable the UDP protocol.

Once UDP protocol blocking is enabled, the policy applies directly to the specified Advanced Anti-DDoS instance. If access traffic exceeds 2 Mbit/s, the system automatically rate-limits UDP traffic.

Policy Validity

Once configured, the policy remains in effect permanently.

Enabling Protocol Blocking

  1. Log in to the AAD console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Advanced Anti-DDoS > Protection Policies. The Protection Policies page is displayed.
  3. Select the instance for which you want to configure protocol blocking.
  4. In the Protocol-based Traffic Control configuration area, click Set.
  5. In the dialog box that is displayed, select a route and set the switch to for blocking.
