As Hytale uses a different network protocol than Minecraft, standard protection filters sometimes need specific adjustments to distinguish between legitimate players and malicious attacks.
The Technical Background (QUIC / UDP):
Unlike Minecraft (which primarily uses TCP), Hytale relies heavily on the QUIC protocol via UDP (typically on Port 5520). This modern protocol ensures fast gameplay but requires specialized DDoS mitigation strategies.

Our KernelHost DDoS protection is capable of filtering Hytale traffic efficiently. However, depending on the intensity and type of the attack, fine-tuning might be necessary to ensure no legitimate player is blocked.
