Private servers under attack? I can help

Hello there.

I heard there are lots of private servers under attack, instead of buying ddos protection. Protect your ip address.

When a hacker can't get the ip your server and or website is hosted on, he can't even start a attack.

Now i have some tips for server owners to use.
When you are hosting scripts on the webhost of your server.
You must use Cloudflare.com. This will totally change your dns settings to the dns from cloudflare.
Now when they are looking (whois or ping) for your ip by typing your website url, they only get a cloudflare ip. This might help alot.

Just use cloudflare on your webhost, and protect ur whois with whoisguard.

Cloudflare is free to use, but if you get downtime by a ddos attack on the cloudflare ip, then pay coudflare for ddos protection. Or manually block those ip's who attack you.

I hope this might help the private servers of kalonline.

I Do know there are other ways to get the ip of the server, But there are not so much people smart enough i think. Using a command prompt and a command when you login to the server will get the ip tho. But there will be more ip's showing in the cmd. And the hacker must just rip the right ip out of it. In that case it's better to use a ddos protected root.

Login to the Server, open the CMD and use the netstat function.

or simply look into your Router, my Router always shows me where im connectet too.

Cloudflare cant protect your Gamserver.

But this could be usefull:




Client (resolve Proxy Bot IP via DNS) <-> Proxy Bot Pool (for example 30 Proxy Port Forwarder, choosen by DNS round robin) <-> Server (only you know the IP)

This is to protect your website ip. Like i said it's not protecting you 100%

First rule - never host the Website/Userpanel on your Kal-Root.

You just need a protected host like dragonara.net and protect your website with cloudflare. All other solutions are crap.

You can also use a remote SQL connection, limited by the firewall to only accept connections on the remote MSSQL port by 1 IP.

True, but theres no DDos Protection needed for this, can be done by a Firewall. True a DDos Protectet Server these days is the normal standart.

That way you can have a cheap webhost protected by cloudflare running your homepage and scripts, connecting to your MSSQL database on a dedicated, ddos protected, server.
