DDoS Protection Console Update (2026-01-12)

To provide a high-quality product experience and services, the EdgeOne DDoS protection console was upgraded on January 12, 2026. This update aims to simplify the operation process and optimize the billing mode. This document introduces the primary optimization points of the new version, as well as variations between the old and new version console, to help you smoothly transition to the new version.
Note:
This upgrade has no impact on the existing services, business operations, protection specs, and security policy configuration of customers who have already subscribed to exclusive DDoS protection. They can continue normal usage. For new purchases or changes to DDoS protection instances, contact us to switch to the new billing model in the backend.
New Version Main Optimization Points
More Flexible Billing Mode
Flexible package options: Two mitigation sessions per month (Essential plan) and unlimited mitigation sessions (Premium plan) are provided. Users can select different packages as needed based on the severity of attack risk. The billing mode is easier and more transparent, making it easy to understand.
Reduce the impact of attacks on protection budget: Protection against attacks within 200Gbps in the Chinese mainland no longer requires payment for elastic protection bandwidth, saving user expenses. Additional Chinese mainland protection capacity add-on is provided, supporting upgrade to Tbps-level protection to meet protection needs at different scales.
Comprehensive protection in each region: The new version package supports comprehensive protection in the Chinese mainland and outside Chinese mainland with no need to purchase separately, meeting users' global protection needs.
Layer-4 and layer-7 unified binding: Both L4 proxy instances and layer-7 domain names are bindable for protection, enabling unified management and enhancing protection flexibility.
For the complete billing details, please see: DDoS Defender fees (pre-paid & post-paid)
Improved User Experience
Unified management interface: The new version UI design is more simple and intuitive. Users can complete ALL protection configurations in the uniform instance management interface (domain name management, layer-4 proxy instance list).
Simplified operation process: Reduce redundant redirection. Users can configure protection levels and security policy configuration faster to improve operational efficiency.
