So it would seem someone wants to bring down my server now via DDoS/Bot attacks on my server, and has tried to claim my server on TopConanServers.com, and has tried to use python scripts to hack my server. Honestly didn’t expect that as my server grew in player size that people would want to attack us, especially considering we are a PvE server, but I guess there are a lot of jerks out there in the conan community.
I’m on a dedicated server using the funcom dedicated server launcher. My host has great DDoS mitigation, but the attacks are too small for it to pick up on and I’m pretty sure theyre coming from the game ports. Does anyone have ideas on how to keep this from happening without spending $1k/month or more for some kind of software? It’s pretty sad people are like this honestly. I don’t even care about being the number 1 server, I just wanted to make a fun community for people to play on that’s not a pay-to-play server.
How do you protect game ports in a firewall that has to be open?
