[K4r3l01]

Hi please its possible to make thi protection??? because we are under attack almost 3 days
and i dont know how to protect this server :( and attack going to port 7777 :(

not possible for the game devs no. They make games, not security solutions.

that is a security thing you would need to address on your end. Protecting against an actually DDoS is very difficult. Requires really good infrastructure and even big companies have a challenge with this depending on the scale of the DDoS.

Changes nothing really. It's not the devs responsibility to handle infrastructure challenges on your end. No game has ever implemented DoS/DDoS protection. If you look up what this is you could see that big companies pay specialized companies to handle these challenges for them.

it's not some simple freebie software that works for everyone. Each scenario can utilize a different solution based on need.

You could start reducing the allowed number of parallel connections from the same IP.

You may even get the IP addresses of the users connected to your server at the moment and whitelist them (no requests limits) and allow unknow IPs to only perform few requests/hour.

In this way, who is playing can play without troubles. Who is trying to connect to your server can. Who want to attack you, gets blocked after a little while.

After that, if you have a big server (100+ slots) and you see some weird traffic from one of the players IP, you can ban him from your server, and he will be automatically blocked by your filters.
