I've installed OTCv8 proxy system on 90+ OTSes and 500+ VPSes in last 12 months.
They all worked great until around 2025-07.

IDK, if https://tempest.net/ is an answer, but at least it worked once in last 2 months, where all OTCv8 configurations - even some with 30+ OVH VPSes failed. More information below.

I recommend OvH or Hetzner

They are both useless.

OTCv8 proxy system on/off does not matter.
Hetzner anti-ddos is/was useless.
OVH anti-ddos was great 2+ months ago (since 2019 and OTCv8 proxy), but it is useless now. There are new attacks that takes OVH down in seconds and it keeps it down for hours.

You can try tempest.net. It's 80-400$ for dedic, but you can get pretty good 80$ dedic with DDoS protection and 10 gb/s network.
Just make sure you configure firewall - in tempest.net panel - to some low number of packets per second (symmetric firewall!) per connection like 50-200 packets per second.

Only system that was able to stand raw.exe DDoS attacks in last 2 months was single 10 gb/s dedicated machine in tempest.net.

Tempest.net has some servers at USA east coast.

// OFFTOP: You cannot use tempest.net VPS/dedic as OTCv8 haproxy server. It's against Tempest.net rules and they can just delete your server anytime - I know some people that paid for a month and lost server in 2 days for proxing OTCv8 proxy packets.

But for BR players?

All 500+/1000+ BR OTSes (ex. rubinot.com.br) host in Neep datacenter: https://neep.com.br/
It's similar to Tempest, but they require much more complicated anti-DDoS config than tempest.net. You have to manually (or by API + some script) list all IPs that are allowed to connect to OTS. All other IPs/players are banned on their anti-ddos/firewall.

I’ve heard from many people in a WhatsApp group that they highly recommend a company called Control Host. According to them, their servers have very strong DDoS protection there have been several attempts to take them down, but none were successful. The prices are on the higher side, so it may not suit everyone, but it could be worth taking a look.

Their website: https://www.controlhost.com.br/

There is also a WhatsApp group you can join to ask questions and get feedback from actual customers who have already purchased VPS plans and seem satisfied: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EWV3dVvS6nt1em7q23FGu7

Personally, I’ve never bought from Control Host myself, but I often see very positive feedback about them.

Note: this company is based in Brazil (BR).

raw.exe is still active, kekw? 🤣

He started in 2024 and he still attacks all new OTSes/new OTS editions. No matter, if it's 500+ or 10+ online OTS.
He often resigns after few days, as he notices that owner won't pay "no matter what".

Another datacenter in BR after Neep 🤔

Maybe raw.exe just cannot attack BR datacenters, because there are no real datacenters (100k-1kk dedicated servers like OVH/Hetzner USA/EU datacenters) in Brasil, so he cannot use hacked servers to attack real servers.

Everytime time I open my server I get a message from raw.exe saying that if I don't respond within X minutes, the server will be attacked. I wait, and it launches various types of attacks against OVH. 80% of the attacks are filtered by OVH, the rest is handled by Linux. After a few hours and attempts, he deletes the message it sent, hahaha. A loser!

Visually there are no options with "Gamer" CPU, only Xeon.

Yes I agree, anyways gamer cpu are really expensive.

This is really shitty...
I recommend ControlHost, as Mateus mentioned... Besides having strong protection, they also provide real-time support to help solve problems with DDoS.

It's ok. But guys I wonder, how much are you willing to pay for a VPS? As I see. Additional vCores won't be an issue even if TFS is single-thread, at least for what I expect to do with it. Generally I host with windows (which is more confortable for me) and the other vCores will handle the other processes (UniServer which is multi-thread, and all the windows shit, background processes, etc.). Database MariaDB/MySQL is multi-threaded too, so why would I expend more cash on having a single core gaming processor if all I need is RAM?.

I can be wrong for sure, that's why i'm writting this. Becuse for $ 17.09 BRL you can meet the requiered specs to run theforgottenserver properly (which is 6GB of RAM). It also offers anti-ddos and enought bandwith to go on. So why would I spend 80-400$ for dedic/month without incomes, for a starting server? Make more sense to spend $ 17.09 BRL/month and start your playerbase from there.

He asked for something capable of supporting 1000+ players. A VPS with Xeon/Epyc (1.8-2.4Ghz) will hardly support more than 300-500 players. Maybe even less than 300.

Thanks for that feedback! Because I didn't know the real relevance of a good processor on this. Definitely helped me out deciding what to do before hiring a VPS. Concluded that bhservers aren't shitty as @Bee King said, but, I understand is not what OP wants (1k players).

For further discussion, do you think a cheap VPS like this is a right approach for starting servers? If the reach is well done, owners shouldn't be seeking for multi-clients or overloaded conections that will traduce on inactive players. So probably, that traduces into + activity single ip = less spent resources?

I say it’s bad because I’ve already made the mistake of using a VPS from this company for a testing environment… any small issue outside the standard is enough to drop the connection. It’s much better to start a project on a solid foundation, and if needed, upgrade within the same company. I don’t think it’s viable to build a player base and put the server into production, even with just a few players, only to later spend a day or more on maintenance migrating to another machine because of poor choices.


Definitely, bhservers crap, like I said hahaha.


Besides, raw.axe doesn’t go after servers with 500+ players—if he gets bored, he’ll attack a server with 10–20 people haha. And just by showing up raw.axe, makes bhservers melt down kkkkkk.


Besides, I saw you say that you host a server on Windows? wtf

Thanks for the reply. Probably hosting Windows is very amateur, haven't experienced with Linux. But I really like Windows enviroment, is there any viability of still using Windows and finding a good cheap option for hosting? What i'm looking for is a VPS that can be used in production without spending too much.

Also what issues outside the standard are those? Aren't memory increase related, or maybe bad source optimization? So much thanks in advance :)

I really recommend using a Linux VPS (preferably Ubuntu 22.04+). You can compile and run the server directly on it it’s much easier than it looks.
To be honest, I didn’t like Linux at first and used only Windows for many years. Later I decided to give it a try and was really surprised. For me, Linux is much faster and more practical when it comes to compiling TFS, running the server, and managing tools like MyAAC, scripts, and file handling.
Another important point: Linux is much more secure than Windows. I’ve been using it for about 2 years now and the difference is huge. I never compile TFS on Windows anymore only OTC. For TFS, Linux is infinitely superior.
If you’re still unsure, I suggest practicing at home with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). With WSL + VSCode you can compile TFS quickly and easily, edit C++ and Lua at the same time, and even connect to your VPS via SSH directly from VSCode. It’s practical, cheap, and very efficient.


There’s a company called Contabo, which is affiliated with OVH. Their prices are pretty good I got a Contabo VPS for $8, but it’s currently on promotion for $6.66. It’s ideal just for tinkering, fixing TFS, compiling, and similar tasks. If you want a serious online server, I’d recommend going for $20+ depending on your TFS map and setup.
