What Is a Protected IP Address?

The IP address of an origin server is the IP address to be protected. It is a public IP address.

A high-defense IP address is the IP address used by the AAD service to provide protection.

The AAD service uses the high-defense IP address to proxy services for origin servers. All public network traffic is diverted to the high-defense IP address, and therefore user services on the origin servers are protected against DDoS attacks.
