### Schutz vor Angriffen - Aktivität im Scrubbing Center

Unsere Anti-DDoS-Infrastruktur (VAC) verfügt über zwei Betriebsmodusse: **automatisch** und **permanent**. Der Schutz erfolgt über das automatische Scrubbing Center. In diesem Bereich untersucht unsere Technik die Datenpakete und versucht, den DDoS-Datenverkehr zu entfernen, während der legitime Datenverkehr durchgelassen wird.

- **Automatische Abwehr** ist die Standardeinstellung: Alle IPs von OVHcloud werden automatisch protektiert. In der Regel ist dies die beste Wahl für Ihre Dienste. Wird illegitimer Traffic entdeckt, wird das Scrubbing Center aktiviert. Dies wird durch den Status „Erzwungen“ für eine bestimmte IP-Adresse angezeigt. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt ist auch die Edge Network Firewall aktiv. Die Situation normalisiert sich wieder, wenn der Angriff abgemildert wurde und keine verdächtigen Aktivitäten mehr beobachtet werden.

- **Der permanente Schutz** kann über das OVHcloud Kundencenter aktiviert und deaktiviert werden. Bei permanentem Schutz wird die erste Filterstufe permanent angewendet, damit der gesamte Traffic das Schutzsystem durchläuft, bevor er den Server erreicht. Es wird davon abgeraten, diese Option über längere Zeiträume zu aktivieren, es sei denn, Sie bemerken starke Latenzschwankungen, da das Scrubbing Center den Traffic zu häufig umleitet.

Beachten Sie, dass im Vergleich zum automatischen Modus **keine** Erhöhung des Schutzniveaus erreicht wird, wenn dieser Modus aktiviert ist.

So aktivieren Sie die Funktion:

- Klicken Sie auf das Menü `Bare Metal Cloud`{.action}.
- Gehen Sie zu `Netzwerk`{.action} in der linken Seitenleiste.
- Gehen Sie zum Abschnitt `IP`{.action}.

### Attack mitigation - scrubbing centre activity

Our Anti-DDoS infrastructure (VAC) has two modes of operation: **automatic** and **permanent**. The mitigation process is done via the automated scrubbing centre. This is where our advanced technology takes a deep look at the packets and attempts to remove DDoS traffic while allowing legitimate traffic to pass through.

- **Automatic mitigation** is the default: All OVHcloud IPs are under automatic mitigation. Usually this is the best choice for your services. In case any malicious traffic is detected, the scrubbing centre activates. This state is indicated by the "Forced" status for a given IP address. At this time the Edge Network Firewall is also active. The situation comes back to normal when the attack is mitigated and no more suspicious activity is observed.

- **Permanent mitigation** mode can be enabled or disabled via the OVHcloud Control Panel. With permanent mitigation, you permanently apply the first level of filtering so all traffic will always pass through the mitigation system before reaching the server. We do not recommend enabling this for longer periods of time unless you are experiencing latency jitter due to the scrubbing centre redirecting the traffic too frequently.

Please note that compared to automatic mode, there is **no** increase in the level of protection when this mode is enabled.

To enable it, follow these steps:

- Open `Network`{.action} in the left-hand sidebar.
- Open `Public IP Addresses`{.action}.
