Use the Protected servers page to enable, disable, reconfigure, or delete a server without reprovisioning it.

Protected servers

Navigate to Security → Edge Proxy → Protected servers to view all configured servers. Each server card shows:

Enable and disable protection

Use the toggle next to the server name to pause or resume protection without deleting the server.
  • Toggle on — starts activation. The card shows Processing (~3 min) while Gcore provisions the proxy. Once complete, status changes to Online and traffic routes through the proxy IP.
  • Toggle off — protection pauses immediately. Status changes to Stopped. The proxy IP remains assigned but stops forwarding traffic.

Edit a server

Click Edit protection on the server card to open the Edit server panel.

The panel supports the following changes:
  • Server name — rename the server.
  • Origin IP — change the origin server address.
  • Applications — add or remove application profiles. To remove an application, delete all its ports.
  • Ports — add or remove ports and select the protocol (TCP or UDP).
  • Proxy protocol — enable PROXY protocol v1 or v2 for individual ports.
Click Save changes.

Delete a server

Click Delete server inside the edit panel. A confirmation dialog appears with the server name and the message “This will permanently remove [name] and all its application configurations.” Click Delete to confirm. Alternatively, click Delete protection on the server card in the Protected servers list and confirm in the same dialog.

Monitor traffic

Traffic Overview (Security → Edge Proxy → Traffic Overview) displays aggregated traffic across all active servers.

The page shows four metrics for packets (pps) and bits (bps), and two charts — Packets (pps) and Bits (bps) — each plotting Input (all received), Drop (blocked), and Pass (forwarded to origin). Use the dropdown to select a time range from one hour to three months, or set a custom range with the date fields.
