Hey guys, I have a question.
Is there any way for me to prevent or reduce the impact of a ddos attack on my dedicated server?
I am hosting at Leaseweb, their only solution is for me to nullroute and wait. That would be good for a website, but not for a game server, couse i will lose players,fast.
Any suggestions what should I do ?

Sit back, get some popcorn and watch a movie, there's no way you can stop them. You could try changing the IP and Port address of the server but I doubt it will change anything.

Wish you the best of luck, best you can do right now is wait.

Search before you post- this topic came up over 100 times in April. I don't want to see 100 new threads about it this month. Holy hell.
People who know nothing about the Internet and the attacks they are susceptible to should NOT run a gaming/web-server.
