Hi Otlanders,
I hope you are keeping safe in this hard time!
I'm in open tibia servers world around 14 years. I helped a lot of for people and I had own servers around 10 years ago when crashing and attacking was not fashionable and priority. I created .lua scripts (simple scripts) and maps. What I can see at the moment is that people just want destroy other OTS's and post all negative things about servers.
During last 8 years I tried to run my own server but all my plans were destroyed after 2-3 days by stability and security issues. My servers are based on Debian 8 and Nginx generally. I'm using VPSs from OVH. My OTS's were all the time under attack for example people know how to disable my page in 10sec, how to freez server, crash server and one time changed data in database.
I decided to make server again and I don't want lose again so thats why I'm creating this thread.
Is here any experienced user who can advice for me and other users here how to secure machine/engine/page? Maybe someone can share with me any tutorials out of otland forum. Can someone give some ideas how to start OTS which will be safe and running with players longer than 2 days.
Regards and keep safe!
