## The Frostwall Protocol
**Definition:** Custom DDoS Shield + Gateway system using cloaked networking
**Architecture Components:**
**1. GRE Tunneling (The Pipeline)**
- Private encrypted link between Command Center and remote nodes
- Hides real physical IP addresses of backend servers
- Creates "invisible" connection through public internet
**2. 1-to-1 NAT/DMZ Forwarding**
- /29 IP block allocation
- Specific external IPs → Specific internal services
- "Binding Truth" for network traffic
**3. Iron Wall Security**
- Default DROP on all physical interfaces
- ONLY exceptions:
- GRE Tunnel traffic
- Management IP access
- "Deny all, allow specific"
**4. IP Hierarchy (Three-Layer)**
- **Scrubbing Center IP:** What customers see/connect to (Command Center)
- **Backend Alias IP:** Hidden server node address
- **Binding Truth IP:** Internal IP for service binding
**How Traffic Flows:**
```
Player → Scrubbing Center IP (visible)
→ GRE Tunnel (encrypted)
→ Backend Alias IP (hidden)
→ Binding Truth IP (internal)
```
**Phase History:**
**Phase 0 (Dismantled - Feb 2026):**
- Complex GRE configuration
- Over-engineered
- Frequent connectivity issues
- **Status:** REMOVED for stability
**Phase 0.5 (Current):**
- UFW-based simple firewall
- IP-specific rules
- Nginx reverse proxy
- "Good enough" security
**Phase 1 (Planned - Next):**
- Rebuild Frostwall from ground up
- Self-healing GRE tunnels (auto-recovery)
- Greater IP-specific granularity
- Simpler than Phase 0, more robust than Phase 0.5
---
## Current Challenges & Open Questions
**Phase 1 Planning:**
- Frostwall Protocol rebuild
- LuckPerms MySQL backend
- World backup automation
- Subscriber auth workflow (manual → webhook → SSO)
**Community Growth:**
- Social media content calendar
- Staff recruitment (builders, social media)
- Fire vs Frost balance
**Technical Debt:**
- MkDocs auto-rebuild on Git commit
- Wiki.js Fire + Frost theming

5. Dual instances need separate databases AND ports AND systemd services
**Workflow:**
1. Automation system enables 11+ hour marathons sustainably
2. One-paste commands critical for hand limitations
3. Real-time documentation prevents context loss
4. Troubleshooting patience pays off (NextCloud took 2.5 hours but works perfectly)
5. Health monitoring (Jack) enables safe long sessions
**Infrastructure:**
1. VPS tier perfect for management services (plug-and-play networking)
2. Ghost VPS has excellent resource headroom (2.8GB RAM free)
3. Dedicated tier optimized for game performance only
4. Clear separation of concerns improves maintainability
5. $0 additional cost - optimal use of existing resources
