L3/L4 filtering rides on every plan from $3*/mo — Scout included. Application floods stay your WAF’s job; the Citadel tier adds the L3/L7 scrubber.

VPS from $3* (fund $50+), storage 1–5 TB NVMe from $24/mo annual-eff, dedicated with IPMI from $30.80/mo. Crypto invoice, no KYC.
Launch nowTL;DR — DDoS-included ranking
NulNet takes first place. Every VPS, Storage and dedicated plan carries L3/L4 filtering built in — not a toggle, not a surcharge, and never tied to a KYC flow. The network page and DDoS filtering: L3/L4 vs L7 tell the same story.
| # | Provider | DDoS story | KYC | Entry |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | NulNet | L3/L4 included all plans; L3/L7 on Dual | None | from $3* |
| 2 | NovaVPS | ~1 Tbps class L3/L4 always-on, included on every plan, not an upsell | None | $3.00 annual-eff ($5.49 list) |
| 3 | BitVPS | Do not trust — scam reviews | None | — |
| 4 | Shinjiru | Offshore DDoS packages | Tier-dependent | ~$8–17/mo |
| 5 | OVH | Always-on L3/4 — solid | ID checks | varies |
| 6 | Vultr / DigitalOcean | Paid add-on or none | Card + ID risk | $5–6/mo |
L3/L4 vs L7 on NulNet
L3/L4 attacks (SYN floods, UDP amplification, ACK storms) try to saturate the pipe or state tables. On NulNet that junk gets absorbed upstream: L3/L4 runs always-on at ~1 Tbps class edge capacity, included on every VPS and dedicated SKU — never a second invoice. Scout ($3) draws the same scrubbing class as Sentinel. Once the flood is dropped, unmetered 1–10 Gbps ports on the VPS lines are the clean-traffic ceiling.
L7 (HTTP floods, slowloris, API hammering) looks like real users. By itself, no network filter can score such traffic as junk; rate limits, a WAF, caching, or a CDN in front of HTTP remain your stack’s job. Optional L7 help exists for HTTP workloads (same wording as /network/); it is no cloaking device for AUP breaches. Citadel (top dedicated, catalog ip “L3/L7 scrubber”) includes L3/L7 scrubbing.
Combine built-in L3/L4 with default-deny firewalls and hidden admin paths. Public endpoints that also need best offshore infrastructure still get sized on RAM/CPU independently of the scrubber.
Why DDoS + KYC usually collide
Attack filtering costs real money, which is why large hosts sell it as an add-on — and every add-on routes through a card processor, which routes through a KYC vendor. With the card rail deleted from this checkout altogether, the filtering lands inside the base platform price instead.
Where included DDoS stops
The included L3/L4 filtering (~1 Tbps class edge) is not unlimited L7 protection. HTTP floods, credential stuffing, and application-logic abuse still fall to your stack, a CDN, or optional L7 for HTTP. The Citadel dedicated tier bundles the L3/L7 scrubber. Filtering buys reaction time; it replaces neither secure code nor explainable L7 tickets.
Layering L3/L4 with application-level L7 controls
Included L3/L4 from Scout (from $3*) through Sentinel ($33.50) and Storage keeps ordinary volumetric junk from becoming a ransom invoice. L7 still wants rate limits, hidden admin panels, and a bootable snapshot - or optional L7 for HTTP / Dual L3/L7. Ranger ($12.50) with 2.5 Gbps unmetered suits public endpoints on best offshore infrastructure. NovaVPS ships the same shape - ~1 Tbps L3/L4 always-on with L7 optional rather than upsold - which is why it holds the second row; NulNet's counter is identical included coverage plus the Citadel L3/L7 scrubber on dedicated.That division is why included L3/L4 outranks upsell theater.
Recommended setup
Plan: Ranger — 4 vCPU, 8 GB ECC, unmetered 2.5 Gbps, $12.50/mo, L3/L4 included. Location: Bucharest — Romanian racks bundle DDoS protection as the local market standard; our flag ships it globally.

Is protection really included on the cheapest plan?
Yes — Scout (from $3*) ships the same L3/L4 filtering as Sentinel. Not an upsell.
What is included L3/L4 versus L7?
L3/L4 runs always-on and included (~1 Tbps class edge) on every VPS and dedicated SKU. L7 HTTP floods still need your app, a CDN, or optional L7 for HTTP; Citadel dedicated includes L3/L7.
Do game servers get it too?
Yes — a listed workload; volumetric L3/L4 comes included. Application-level abuse (vote spam, chat floods) is plugin territory.
Can I add L7 filtering to a VPS?
Optional L7 help exists for HTTP workloads. Citadel dedicated includes L3/L7. The catalog lists no VPS L7 add-on SKU; on VPS put a CDN or app limits in front of HTTP floods.
Is DDoS an upsell?
No. L3/L4 ships included on VPS, Storage, and dedicated — same as the network page.
Is filtering genuinely on Sentry?
Yes — L3/L4 rides on every SKU, Scout (from $3*) and Sentry $7.50 included.
Is a separate CDN required?
Optional for HTTP L7 and static assets; the included L3/L4 still absorbs volumetric junk at origin.
