Free Minecraft DDoS Protection + Performance

Not affiliated with RS. I will not answer any questions about RS in this thread.
We've been working on Launchmc.com for a long time. It's designed by a cloudflare-like service geared toward Minecraft. Providing improved latency and DDoS protection with any provider (or home hosting!!).
We have soft launched and wanted to get some feedback from server owners on how to continuously improve this product. We also have a discord available.
I ask one thing, be nice and respectful, this is a completely free service that we're hoping to evolve into an awesome platform. Please keep conversations on track toward improvement of the product, I will not discuss anything outside of feedback for LaunchMC.

Separating this out into multiple posts because people don't read and skim over long posts.
How it works: LaunchMC Docs (super short read, lots of pictures!)
As for latency improvement, we currently only have 4 PoPs. As the number increases, there will be obviously improvements, right now, if you aren't next to a pop, you'll probably see a slight latency increase.
We will deploy additional PoPs closer to players.
Current PoPs as of Sept 1, 2025:
-Singapore
-Los Angeles
-Miami
-Germany
Post #3 - again, because people skim over long posts.
DDoS Protection - right now, we have our own platform sitting on top of NeoProtect + DF. We aren't limited to a specific provider, but it allows us to absorb super large attacks while adding our protection layer on top.
Feedback: The Discord channel is the preferred method of feedback. I please ask you to not insert any opinions unless you have a Minecraft server and have actually fully deployed and used the service.

just awesome DDOS accessories.
Did I understand that right? I might try this out with a friends server and let you know if he lets me.

Yes! You got it.
Even if you're running a private, small server, route through LaunchMC. The more traffic we get on the network, the more improvements we can offer.
We'll be adding more PoPs based on where traffic is being sourced from to slowly improve latency to/from those locations.
Once you launch a POP in South America I might give it a try!
Start using it and we'll launch a pop!
You can also request it in our discord under the "Suggestions" channel.
Does Miami add too much latency for you?
We pushed several performance improvements and fixes, including one that prevents IP spoofing in rare cases.
I'm located near Sao Paulo, so Miami adds about 100-120ms. To Sao Paulo I get anything from 5ms to 15ms depending on routes and other factors. I will add a request on the discord later on. Don't worry about me though, I don't understand demand for these down here is not very big.
Thanks for the feedback. We'll look into adding a PoP in SA.
If you know of any providers that specialize in anti-DDoS in SA, let us know. We don't want to surprise anyone with a service that attracts attacks.
