guys from 3-4 days i am observing someone try to DDOS my server
as i am using VPS.but someone continously DDOS the server and server turn off.
i searched many anti-ddos but didnt find a better result.
any help!

What is he actually doing? What exactly is happening to the server? From the sounds of it, I doubt it's a ddos.

Use the more updated version: https://github.com/ess/citadel This script is a must have for protection of script kiddies, but it still does have some flaws, but all in all, works quite well. It's a basic tool you can use for blocking IPs with excessive amount of connections. You can specify how many connections a single IP can make to your server before DDoS deflate will ban that IP address using iptables or APF. and it doesn't consume memory.It does helps agains dos'es and also some ddoses. But it won't protect you fully against ddoses,IMO.It helps with HTTP Floods like POST/GET/HEAD floods and really small SYN floods.But better to use Nginx. Because under ~500 different ip addressses what spam to server, ddos deflate work very hard.I recommend to use ipset + iptraf + tcpdump + iptables + ACL (provider level); It's helps. All other methods do not help if they are strong. 2)http://www.snort.org/ SNORT is a very nice tool, but it's not specifically intended to defend against DDoS from what I understand.But People often use it with pfsense and other solutions. It alone can't do all that much. There is no magic software that can defend against DDOS attacks. If they're sending you more traffic than what fits into your pipe, your pipe is full. Period. IMO, The only true defense against massive DDoS attacks is bigger pipes.Since Most attacks these days are simply traffic based saturation vectors.

If he is actually performing DDoS attacks and you know who he is, you can report him to your local authorities as it is against the law.

That is correct, however local authorities generally do not tend to take any action at all about these attacks unless the attacks are on a federal agency.
They simply tell the ISP to take action, which in most cases they dont.
At most they'll send him a letter asking him to stop.
(Which fails to deter most people from doing it)

You just have to find a DDoS protected host

like OVH, Dzeasyweb, or GameServers

[Pottus]

That is what you get for a $5 server.

[GGRoleplay]

If it's from one IP you could try dropping it through iptables (use iftop to check for incoming connections)

make a support ticket and have your ip changed
