Update: our game, bot and database hosting plans are closed for now. A VPS is the better way to run them.
The workloads in this guide run great on an Altivora Cloud VPS. You get full root access, so you can host any game server, Discord bot, Lavalink node or database yourself, with fast NVMe storage, DDoS protection, instant setup and no per-slot limits. Choose the location closest to your players: India, Singapore, USA, Germany or Canada. Pay in INR with UPI or by card.

Traditional web-only CDN proxies only protect HTTP and HTTPS on ports 80 and 443. For game servers, voice nodes, custom database replication ports, and TCP/UDP socket services, your origin IP address is frequently exposed to devastating multi-gigabit denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Cloudflare Spectrum bridges this gap by extending Cloudflare's massive 300+ Tbps global Anycast network to any non-HTTP protocol.
How Cloudflare Spectrum Works on Altivora
- Origin IP Cloaking: Your backend server IP is completely hidden behind Cloudflare's Anycast proxy IP addresses distributed across 330+ global datacenters.
- Layer 4 & Layer 7 Scrubbing: UDP reflection/amplification, SYN floods, ACK floods, and custom application-layer protocol exploits are filtered at the edge within nanoseconds.
- Proxy Protocol v1 & v2 Support: Seamlessly pass through the authentic player / client real IP address to your FiveM or Minecraft server logs and ban managers.
- Traffic Allocation Plans: Choose from 2 TB up to 9 TB of clean, protected monthly bandwidth with 1 to 10 protected dedicated port assignments.
Step-by-Step Proxy Protocol Integration for FiveM
To enable real IP preservation behind Cloudflare Spectrum on your FiveM server:
# In your server.cfg file:
set sv_proxyProtocol 2
set sv_proxyProtocolIPs "103.21.244.0/22 103.22.200.0/22 103.31.4.0/22 104.16.0.0/13 104.24.0.0/14 108.162.192.0/18 131.0.72.0/22 141.101.64.0/18 162.158.0.0/15 172.64.0.0/13 173.245.48.0/20 188.114.96.0/20 190.93.240.0/20 197.234.240.0/22 198.41.128.0/17"
endpoint_add_tcp "0.0.0.0:30120"
endpoint_add_udp "0.0.0.0:30120"
With this configuration, your origin server is 100% immune to direct attacks, and player bans function accurately based on real user IP addresses.
