Block ddos steam Fail2Ban

You guys should first know the difference between DoS and DDoS Attacks.

DDoS != DoS.

And I think we are talking about DoS attacks here, which can be blocked by filters. DDoS can't be blocked by the system, if anything can block DDoS attacks then it would be load balancers...

This is exactly what I was trying to point out. This man has the correct idea, guys. You should listen to him.

Steven, I'm pretty sure I know what it is. I've had it done to me before on my home connection.

I may not know everything about it, but I know the symptoms. So if this won't work for DDoS then I should look somewhere else.

Wow you should rely read the ONLY way to slow a true DDoS is have load balancing. But good thing most people who DDoS game servers are script kiddies and use SyN floods so you should just use iptables on the input chain to drop not reject all SyN/ICPM packets just google it also you can set iptables to stop people from flooding you udp ports. Between thoes two things you should slow down or even stop weak DDoS attacks. Do not think this is a 100% fix for DDoS attacks......

You should read, I never said I could stop it I just said i'd have to look somewhere else to try and fix the issue. It's a bit hard when the guy that did it to me keeps trying to find my new server. So i'm paranoid. Also, I know how the whole script things goes it's not like their aren't a gazillion people that are silly on hl1 mods spamming them to death
