Disgusting server issues

[Ivan_Dzeba]

These issues are crossing the line.

I have noticed that they appear usually at 20:00 or 21:00 PM.

The server is unplayable with these conditions, and it is very annoying.

Yeah we know that it's unplayable and currently down at the moment, until the attacks stop just going to need to rough it out for now.

So why you are waiting for the attackers to stop attacking? since you can block his IP, otherwise I prefer to set it down so the people won't get more annoyed trying to join the servers.

Depending on what the attacker uses, he may have several dozens of IPs that are used to attack the server... blocking him won't always help except preventing access to the server from his own PC.

I doubt it's DDoS. It's probably an exploit similar to the connection query flooder in previous SAMP version. The server should be able to mitigate average DDoS attacks with the host's DDoS mitigation hardware.

Argonath needs Chase....give him scripter postion again, so he can fix a better shield or put more layers against DDOS attack.

And...forum should use cloudfare against attack toward forum in case it happend.

If only networking was that simple, sadly there are many reasons as to why blocking an IP address won't prevent an attack.

Block one IP and they will come with others it's a endless cycle that doesn't get anywhere.  Will always be a way for someone to attack and annoy they will get bored soon enough and move on like all the others.

Can't their ISP be contacted if you have the attackers original IP address?

That's if they even did the attack themselves and not using some booter off a website for $5.  If they did use their own IP which is very unlikely then they are world's dumbest and yes you could contact ISP and maybe even the law with proof and have them arrested.

In other words, this won't stop till they get bored?

Show them where to shove their attacks Mikal, we believe in you

We had attacks before and they went on for days and eventually stopped.  See what Teddy has to say he might be able to configure something to help unless that is a Gandalf only area.

Ok, someone give me some RPG's IRL, I'll sort this shit out.

TBH I don't see how the attacker can be having any fun if nobody knows who he/she is, must be pretty boring watching all these people getting pissed off without anyone to rage about, unless it's some kid who actually think's he's 'bringing an end to Argonath'...

I doubt that tho. It doesn't go so far in such situations even in the most strict laws in the western countries.
And somehow I have a feeling this guy ain't coming from a nearly strict country, when it comes to web law.
