# DDoS protection for a dedicated server

Dedicated servers are protected by [Selectel DDoS protection](/anti-ddos/ddos-selectel.mdx) by default. Protection is provided at the network and transport (L3, L4) layers. Inbound traffic is analyzed, and unwanted traffic flows from the external network are blocked.

To increase service security, you can [enable additional protection](/anti-ddos/about-anti-ddos.mdx#select-additional-protection):

* [DDoS Guard L3-L4 protection](/anti-ddos/ddos-guard.mdx#ddos-guard-l3-l4);
* [DDoS Guard website protection and acceleration](/anti-ddos/ddos-guard.mdx#ddos-guard-l7);
* [Stormwall protection](/anti-ddos/stormwall.mdx);
* [Curator protection](/anti-ddos/curator.mdx);
* [WAF Curator](/waf/curator.mdx).
