Do you figure, that the first month is the most critical one ? You may loss your time and investments pretty quickly if you are underestimating this.

Your project is going to fail, because any jackass, can cause you issues with such companies...

Sido, nothing is overpriced. Everything does have a cost, due to the way it works. For example, you might find cheaper ddos protection, however it will put you in risk due : - Support not available or not specializing in your problem when you need it. - Lack of effectivity against DoS/DDoS attacks when you really receive a good attack. - Latency/Delay issues. - False positives / many legit users being blocked when they shouldn't had to. These companies, does have their costs to keep something good, it assumes they will have engineers, technicians, good equipments and active engineers, so don't expect 'cheap' to be 'good', because there are no 'miracles'. The cheap you find, the worst it is, really. Technology have its price and unless you pay the right price, you aren't going much far... As example, the cheapest ddos protections, generally are just a shared dedicated server, someone bhought and claimed to be a ddos protection provider, yeah, sure. However once their customers start being hit, you'll also be affected in the process, which is not really 'cool'. :). Or companies like OVH, that protect their 'network', read it again 'their network' against large attacks, however, they don't care if they have to sacrify one customer here or there, if it works good, if not, the customer can always leave :), since losing one customer, is better than losing 100~500 or 1000 of them, with network issues caused by just 'one customer'. :D

Still not the properly way to call this. Just because you are not 'overselling' too much, or dedicating resources, doesn't means, that it magically become 'truely dedicated', because everything is placed in the same environment, so you are sharing it with other customers. So it has the properly name "Virtual Private Server" for a reason, so yes, it is a VPS, but the word 'dedicated or semi-dedicated' will not fit here.

Stop. Or this is a dedicated server or a virtual private server, there is no way to it be called 'dedicated vps'.

I don't like much SMF, because since it isn't a commercial forum the developers may not take seriously the development millestones and this can cause problems. Also there are much more modules & templates developed for IPB or vBulletin than smf...

Not about you, but I used this as a double quote, even if this is still in "Gigabit" scale, the guy who said this [jakk], doesn't have any clue on how big is this, when speaking about networking (lol). He probably doesn't have any clue on how many alerts it will trigger in the network carriers once all this traffic, flows to just one place (hehehehe).

Keep dreaming, 2.

100 Gbps (Keep Dreaming).

Yeah, not saying it wouldn't work, but it is always better to disable directly what cause the issues :). Honestly these packs needed to have a 'real' option to completely disable any type of flood control, but unfortunately, most of them, have this option 'bugged', because it doesn't really disable everything... Like the l2jserver package, where if you disable the antiflood, still the ipv4filter will continue doing shit.

Actually, the best way instead of touching the IPs (in my opinion), would be just disabling the flooding algorithms that do it IP based... because, there might be some side effect if you don't go this way (when speaking about mmocore) :]

It works, as long you replace both servers (Login and Game) not just one of them :).

When speaking about 'ddos mitigation', no it is not a node...

I don't understand, why people call a 'dedicated server', in a 'cheap network' as ' node'... People really don't get what a node means in this market. In the 'theory' a node had to be a 'exclusivelly independant routing circuit', we are not speaking about any dedicated server here, but instead, about a really separated network segment, which will not impact 'any' customer in other nodes... It is kinda impressive, how setting up a reverse dns 'to show it is a separated node', to just a different IP on the same dedicated server, is used to justify this. Be aware, because people do everything to take your money lol...

lol, haha :D

My friend took some stuff from there one time, all was ok.

This is sick :P

lol :/

Seems it is a old topic :P.

I don't see why something better would be necessary, I am using HF to my server and even when I got attacked with a higher attack (than the protection limit) I didn't got any issues, I know this because I was in Dragonara before, and they null-routed my IP when the attacked achieved 3.850.000 PPS (12.3 Gbps with large packets), as soon I joined them, it stopped happening... Not to mention, their protection doesn't causes DCs when an attack start, so I don't notice anything at all...

Trusted guy, had his server ruined by jealous people...

Simple and direct, you can't. 99% of the attacks are spoofed (means the attack are using fake ips), so you can't find the origin network (the correct IPs).

What this has to do with this topic anyways ? Tell me any datacenter that does protect in L7 (for L2) in specific. There is none. Anyways, there are approachs that can be done to help you, as they offered there, so you can try ?

This screenshot is not even from x4b dude, it is taken directly from voxility datacenter. "FRA-ANC" is the name of voxility backbone :) !

lol @ 32 GB RAM DDOS PROTECTION hahahaha.
