Hey Scrubs,
I thought it would be nice to release another way to protect your Habbo Retro without being forced to only use a few hosts in the retro community, like keepus.online or 4it.Nobody likes to be limited, and I'm one of those people who don't like being limited. I'd rather host on an unprotected host or a big hosting company that isn't in the Habbo Retro community, than trusting someone who has the same interest as me with my files or being able to gain access to my stuff. Which I'm sure many of you, who own retros feel the same way as well? Within this community, one moment someone will be your best friend next, they'll be opening their own hotel, or if you're unlucky you get other Habbo Retro's, people who down you left to right. I know that feeling and didn't want to spend a ton of money of protection because this is just a game I enjoy to play and build a community of players who treat each other like family and stick up for one another so with this being said I feel this is well deserved to our community!

P.S
I know some people are dickheads and don't deserve this but I'm doing this for those people who do, and those who don't want to be forced to use these other companies. I've heard a lot about a new DDOS protection company, they've been downing hotels, and then offering them their protection and playing innocent and taking their money. I hate to see people taken advantage of when they didn't do anything wrong but want to own a game that makes them happy. But others see ways to find flaws and make money off these people, and to me that's twisted, doing dirt behind someone's back and forcing them to use your services. I ain't saying no name or anything, the tea comes out when it finally spills out. It was really sad to see nobody in this community, who knew how to help these upcoming hotels and didn't. I'm shocked outta all these popular Habbo Retro's I am the only one taking the time to try and help people still...... I've done my good and bad within the community but nobody is perfect. But what mattered, is I care enough to help at the end of the day and not charge people money to protect their websites and not give them other choices they know that would work and cost them less. People just looking at how to make a profit off people instead of just helping them, But this TUT is well overdue.

Let's Start......
I will be giving you guys the same protection I use on Zabbo.ME, it's worked for me. I ain't that much of a tech guy JS but I manage and get poop to do the job I want.I am using IIS (Internet Information Services), It shouldn't matter which PHP you use, but as I said I am telling people the setup I use!

- IP Address and Domain Restrictions (Settings: )
- PHP 5.6.1- PeerBlock 1.2 ( )
- Cloudflare (Free Plan)
- Sucuri ( ) ( )

After you've bought a plan from Sucuri for $9 a month, you can use their firewall which will stop ONLINE BOOTERS & Most Layer 7 Attacks on your domain from smacking you offline.The green-colored blocks I've put ( ) is the IP you copy and paste to your Cloudflare for your IP for your server. ( )Also, make server to click on Hosting IP in Sucuri Navigation on the left sidebar ( )
Once you've done that go back to Sucuri then look at the top navigator bar and find Security and click on it ( ) make sure your settings are those.

P.S
Before someone says it doesn't work, make sure you haven't exposed your server IP to anyone because then this whole thing is pointless. Please use a TCP proxy in your client.php!If you need a free TCP proxy check out Or PM me and I can set you up on one of my proxy servers but I recommend since they're free and saves you money.

Like come on, how hard was it to write something like this for the community. This is why our English community is dying because we taking each other out and giving our users a bad experience because we fighting about who's PENIS is bigger, while hotels like Boon and fresh sitting back at the top for years laughing at you guys. If you watch these foreign communities they still hitting 200-400 daily users on small hotels, and that's because their community helps them build up their hotel and if one hotel got an issue everyone comes together to fix it. Like yall need to grow up and work as a team, how are we gonna own popular servers when we keep smacking each other offline? and not spending time promoting on social media platforms and getting more people to learn about Habbo Retro's. Like I remember how I found retros and that's because back in the old day our community was more helpful and friendly like people cared to spread retros, nowadays we depending on Findretros when in reality you guys only gonna get the user-base FIndRetros has to offer which isn't much. WAKE UPMeh did my best to explain, click on the images to understand it more, I am not going to spoon-feed it, but if anyone needs help or runs into an issue PM me or find me on Zabbo and I'll help you set up this on TeamViewer. Make sure to try at least before asking me to help.

@vLife aye could you lock this thread? I don't want people trying to comment or beef on it. It's just literally for those people who don't wanna host with someone within the retro community and host with a bigger well known company. This thread doesn't really need replies or feedback.
