Our story

TCPShield, founded in 2015 by Founder Chairman – Steven Ferguson, is one of the first Minecraft-oritented DDoS mitigation platforms in North America. The platform’s goal is to improve internet security and provide low latency gaming experiences for our gaming communities. Our mission is to bring a high-class, industrial-leading DDoS mitigation with 100% uptime for all customers at the prices that every server could afford.

Before TCPShield was established, only a small number of servers could afford high-capacity, world-leading DDoS mitigation. As this is a very niche field, most up and coming Minecraft servers were unable to afford the high-priced solutions required to protect their communities from malicious cyber attacks. The founding of TCPShield offers servers around the world, from North America, Europe and across Asia an opportunity to enjoy safe, low-latency gaming sessions at affordable price

From 2015, TCPShield has served over 50000 networks with all ranges of player counts. Our platform started out as a small business that can only support 300 players, and has become an industry leader of DDoS mitigation with daily peaks of more than 80000 players, spanning across 10 PoPs around the world, with a multi-terabit upstream capacity. TCPShield is well-known for its resilience towards DDoS attacks, as our engineers are constantly adapting to the ever-evolving adversaries using rigorous research-driven development.

In a continuing effort to bring industry leading DDoS mitigation to our customers, TCPShield has partnered with an array of international hosting providers, network agencies, and B2B companies. We have prominently established ourselves as the superior defence method to make the Minecraft online community a safer place.

Thanks to the trust of our customers, and the relentless effort of our engineers, TCPShield has gained a reputation as a highly respected DDoS mitigation service. We will strive to be the best in the business, so that you continue to run your network with absolute confidence.
