Does my Azure public IP have default DDoS protection ( Free ). Currently it shows as "Not Protected"

Does my Azure public IP have default DDoS protection (Free). Currently it shows as "Not Protected" in the properties of the Public IP. So does it mean that I have to purchase any subscription, or some basic protection is indeed included ( we do not have any web servers or critical infrastructure which is open to public )

    Services running on Azure are inherently protected by the default infrastructure-level DDoS protection. However, the protection that safeguards the infrastructure has a much higher threshold than most applications have the capacity to handle, and does not provide telemetry or alerting, so while a traffic volume may be perceived as harmless by the platform, it can be devastating to the application that receives it.
