How to Setup Game Proxy DDoS Protection for Your FiveM Server

How to Setup Game Proxy DDoS Protection for Your FiveM Server

4/18/2026By Tom Pearce

Protecting your FiveM server from DDoS attacks is essential if you want stable uptime, smooth gameplay, and no interruptions for your players.

With our new Game Proxy DDoS Protection, you can hide your real server IP and route traffic securely through our protected proxy network.

This guide walks you through the full setup process.


๐Ÿš€ Step 1: Configure Your Game Proxy

Before editing anything in your FiveM files, you need to configure your Game Proxy inside the dashboard first.

  1. Log in to your dashboard
  2. Click Game Proxy in the left-hand menu
  3. You will see Not Configured
  4. Click Configure

You will now need to enter your real server IP and port.

๐Ÿ”Ž Finding Your Real Server IP

If you do not know your serverโ€™s IP:

  • Search Google for What is my IPv4 address
  • Make sure you use your IPv4 address, not IPv6
โš ๏ธ You must use your IPv4 address or the proxy will not work correctly.

๐Ÿ”Œ Default FiveM Port

FiveMโ€™s default server port is:

30120

If you have not changed it, your port is most likely 30120.

So you will enter:

  • Actual Server IP: Your IPv4 address
  • Port: 30120, unless you use a custom port

Save the configuration once completed.


โš™๏ธ Step 2: Add Proxy Settings to Your server.cfg

Once your proxy is configured, you need to tell FiveM to use it.

Open your server.cfg file and add the following lines:

set sv_forceIndirectListing true
set sv_proxyIPRanges "IP/32"
set sv_listingIpOverride "IP:PORT"
setr mumble_maxClientsPerIP 500

๐Ÿ” Replace With Your Proxy IP

You must replace:

  • IP with your Game Proxy IP
  • PORT with your Game Proxy Port

For example, if your DDoS Protection IP is:

15.235.134.117:50000

Your config should look like this:

set sv_forceIndirectListing true
set sv_proxyIPRanges "15.235.134.117/32"
set sv_listingIpOverride "15.235.134.117:50000"
setr mumble_maxClientsPerIP 500

๐Ÿ”’ What These Settings Do

  • sv_forceIndirectListing true
    Forces your server to list through the proxy instead of exposing your real IP.
  • sv_proxyIPRanges
    Allows traffic from the proxy IP only.
  • sv_listingIpOverride
    Tells FiveM to show the proxy IP in the server browser.
  • mumble_maxClientsPerIP 500
    Helps prevent voice connection issues when many players connect through one proxy IP.

โœ… Final Step: Restart Your Server

After saving your server.cfg:

  1. Restart your FiveM server
  2. Join using the proxy IP
  3. Confirm everything connects correctly

Your real server IP should now be hidden and protected behind our DDoS-protected Game Proxy.
