Case Study

800Gbps DDoS Attack
Zero Impact

5 min readPurpVanilla Server

When an 800Gbps UDP flood DDoS attack hit PurpVanilla, our protection systems kept every player online without a single ping spike, timeout, or disruption.

The Attack That Should Have Crippled Everything

The Challenge

On April 27, 2026, our monitoring systems detected an unprecedented attack against PurpVanilla. The UDP flood quickly scaled to 800Gbps - the largest DDoS attack we've ever mitigated.

For context: Most hosting providers struggle with attacks over 100Gbps. An 800Gbps attack would overwhelm even enterprise networks.
