Shayss 43 Report post Posted February 9, 2017 Hey guys, So as is blatantly obvious, to anyone attempting to play atm, the servers are under heavy DDOS. There was a single twitter post 2 days ago that there was work going towards a possible fix. We haven't heard anything else since then, however the DDOS has still been going unchecked. The DDOS seems to be specificaly targetting certain servers as well. My suggestion is thus: Allow for a maximum of 5 connection attempts per hour on the targetted servers. This will automatically stop the DDOS attack. However it does mean that some innocents will get mixed up in the crossfire. Especially if they need to load addons / relogg to apply changes to UI / relogg to fix WDB etc ... This is NOT a fix. This is a bandage until your team can manage a better method of mitigation. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storfan 24 Report post Posted February 10, 2017 I dont think they are generating traffic by doing connection attempts but rather by sending trash data. The last time it was by unprotected camera streams. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shayss 43 Report post Posted February 10, 2017 I'm not tech savy enough! I only understand the basic principles of DDOS, so if it's as you say then I don't know. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shayss 43 Report post Posted February 12, 2017 I don't know what you did and I don't expect you to tell us either. But thank you for sorting the DDOS issue. It is evident that the server is still under heavy attack (server wide spikes occasionaly) but the mitigation you have in place seems to be working wonders. Again, much thanks. Keep up the good work. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
