Hey guys,

I'm using OVH (anti-ddos protection), I have some iptables installed as well. What else can I do to prevent against an attack? It's kind of depressing. You work so hard on a server and some jerk out there just wants to take it all away and I feel defenseless.

OVH sends me the e-mail, "We are detecting an attack on server with ip address x.XXX~~ and we are moving it into our mitigation system", but I don't see what the point of that is if the server goes down anyways.

What I'd like to know from you guys is there something else I can do on my end to help protect my server?

If you have money to spend get a cloudflare business plan, they offer an extra layer of DDoS protection.

Thanks I'll check the prices there, but unfortunately my budget is limited. :(
OVH just sent me another e-mail saying that their technicians are going to do an "intervention" on the server. I asked them what exactly will be the goal of the intervention/ what will they be fixing. Hopefully they can adjust their system to better protect against the person who was attacking.

Depressing is a really good word to describe this shit. So many good things gets destroyed by DDoS. Im mainly thinking about esport matches and so on. It fuckings sucks.

Well, funny thing is that I have never had any major problems (ddos) with SoYouStart server.
But when I wanted to try OVH's server didn't take long until I started receiving ddos attacks. "major"
I tried installing all kind of tables, but eventually I moved back to SoYouStart and didn't have any major problems afterwards.. ;o
By major I mean ddos attacks lasted from 5~ minutes to several hours.
With soyoustart servers I've also received several ddos attacks but they never long. usually from 10 seconds to max 2-3min.

Copied from another forum:
I have just bought the E3-SDD and along with that, an OVH VPS Classic 1 - these cost just £2 a month and come with the option to turn on permanent mitigation meaning the server will never go down. I then use a TCP Tunnel to direct all traffic through this VPS so all DDoS attacks will be directed there too.

Also it would be good idea to add some kind of "death protection" script to the server when you're under ddos attack.
> Add free blessings to everyone(in-case of the script not working)/make death loss 0% when you're under ddos.

Dno, if you're using TFS 0.4~ if it's possible to do such thing without touching the sources but something like:
>Globalevent executes e.g every 5 seconds.
>getOnlinePlayers > if 50% or more of them got ip==0 then addStorageValue(deathprotection), broadcastmsg"we're under ddos, find a safe place and wait for a while.."

Not "better".
Specs, bandwith are better on OVHs server.

But just in my personal experience I experienced some extremely heavy ddos attacks(not blocked properly) while I had OVH server. (took long time for OVH to block ddos, although ddos mitigation should be better)
I have never suffered any "major" ddos attacks while having SoYouStart server.
(always blocked ddos quite quickly)

i had that problem, I found a smart solution tho... I had 2 dedicated servers (16 gb ram OVH, 4 GB ram other company.) so I just forwarded the ip of the 4 GB ram one, now players connect through a custom client, website is on the 4 gb ram one but custom client connects to the server

It won't last long if the hacker knows what he's doing but it can really help you.

PS: Don't forward an ip from OVH or your account will get banned. You can forward ip TO ovh but not FROM ovh...

@imkingran ; try what I said, it makes your game nearly impossible to detect, so if you got a few players they wont disconnect from the custom client which will link to your actual server, while the website is on another dedi

I am using soyoustart since they started, by this time I had hosted many servers with huge amount of players, system was detecting ddos, but there wasn't any type of lag.
If you want, I can generate VPS for you on my machine for a small fee ;-)
