DDOS Information

Hi,
I plan on having 4 servers , 1 bungee on its own server and 3 others with prob 3 sub-servers on each
I was going to use OVH gaming for the bungee as it has pro ddos , if I firewalled the other 3 completely to only allow connections from bungee and block any other ports is it still possible to ddos the other 3 servers direct ? As in do I need ddos pro with every server ?

If all the servers are on the one machine with OVH, then they will all be protected under their DDoS protection.
If you have the backend servers on a different host without protection, then as long as you keep the IPs of them hidden, players won't be able to find and DDoS them.

I will have 5 dedicated servers all with ovh , 1 with bungee probably as a game server as it does 2 way mitigation , and then the others firewalled behind this as only can access from those servers.
Ppl can find the ips though so with that in mind if all ports are blocked except from bungee can they still ddos them ?

If you have your servers behind Bungee, then people shouldn't be able to find the backend IPs
Blocking through iptables will only be effective against very small attacks.
Any larger attacks would activate the OVH mitigation as far as I know.
