Capabilities

Full detection on Vultr

Pre-Installed Agent

The Vultr Marketplace image ships with ftagent already installed and configured as a systemd service. Deploy the image, provide your credentials via user-data, and detection starts on first boot.

Auto-Setup via User-Data

Pass your API key and node UUID through Vultr's user-data field. The agent reads these on boot and configures itself automatically. No SSH required for initial deployment.

Systemd Service

ftagent runs as a systemd service with automatic restart on failure. It starts on boot, survives reboots, and logs to journalctl for easy troubleshooting.

Host Network Monitoring

ftagent reads /proc/net/dev on the Vultr instance and monitors all traffic on the primary interface. Works across cloud compute, high-frequency, bare metal, and optimized instances.

Protect your Vultr infrastructure

Deploy from the Vultr Marketplace or install manually. DDoS detection running in under 5 minutes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I deploy ftagent on Vultr?

Two options: use the Flowtriq one-click image from the Vultr Marketplace, or deploy any Ubuntu 24.04 instance and install ftagent with pip install ftagent && sudo ftagent --setup. Both methods give you the same agent with identical capabilities.

Does the Vultr Marketplace image auto-configure ftagent?

The marketplace image has ftagent pre-installed and running as a systemd service. On first boot, pass your API key and node UUID via Vultr user-data and the agent configures itself automatically. No SSH required for initial setup.

Can ftagent deploy firewall rules on Vultr instances?

Yes. ftagent deploys iptables and nftables rules directly on the instance. Vultr instances run standard Linux kernels with full networking control, so all firewall-based mitigation works out of the box.

Does ftagent work with Vultr bare metal servers?

Yes. ftagent works on any Vultr product that runs Linux, including cloud compute, high-frequency compute, bare metal, and optimized cloud instances. The agent monitors /proc/net/dev and works identically across all Vultr instance types.
