FAQ

Questions

Which games can I host?
Metin2 and any other TCP-based game server. Cerberus is designed for TCP game traffic and proxies cleanly for auth and channel ports. UDP-only games are not currently supported.
How does the DDoS protection work?
Cerberus proxies all player connections through our dedicated scrubbing infrastructure. Malicious packets are dropped at the network edge before they reach your VPS. Your server’s origin IP stays hidden — attackers can only reach the Cerberus IP, which is built to absorb the load.
Do I get full root access?
Yes — every VPS comes with full root access and an out-of-band KVM console. You can install any software, modify the OS, and recover from boot failures without contacting support.
Where are the servers located?
We have nodes in France (Gravelines and Strasbourg, OVH data centers) and in the United States (Miami). Choose the location closest to your player base when configuring your VPS.
