DDoS Protection

Solved

Hello, for a few weeks I've been getting DDoS attacks and my internet is cut off for 1 hour. I called Free's support, and after 17 minutes of conversation, they told me they couldn't help and that I need to contact an IT professional who can assist me with firewalls and other stuff.
Is there anyone who has a REAL solution against these DDoS attacks? And if there are professionals in the comments, I would appreciate your help in configuring the protection for my network. Best regards.

    Hi,
    no, unfortunately,
    only the ISP can protect you.
    For example, Free could assign a temporary IP address until things calm down.
    Once the packets have arrived on your line, it's too late.
    The best protection
    is not to mess with others if you don't have a (very) strong internet connection.
    Also, protect yourself so that Eastern hackers don't install a bot on your system that participates in attacks against others.

    Hello,

    A few years ago, an individual would only risk a DoS attack with limited consequences, like the "ping of death". Real DDoS attacks were reserved for institutions and businesses. Unfortunately, there are now "turnkey" packages available that come with a botnet network, and they are obviously paid.

    So it is possible for someone who doesn't even have a server to have their connection wrecked, and this is true for all of us.

    Solution: restart the box to get another IP, avoid emails and instant messaging for a while (they can track your IP), but with Free... it's a fixed IP in unbundled mode.

      With Free, I have a fixed IP, so I'm screwed...

      Hello,

      1- A DoS attack does not disconnect your connection for 1 hour
      2- At 17, it's easy to make you believe anything to scare you
      3- Only a fool spends his time DoSing the same person (he will surely have another victim one day)
      4- A ping response option is usually unchecked on the Freebox server, making it harder to DoS individual modems with operator filtering and built-in box protections
      5- Primarily, individual servers are easy victims


      So first! If you have disconnections lasting 1 hour, check that it does not come from your line

      And if the DoS were true, file a complaint; such attacks are punishable by law. If you have the player's username and it is linked to a Steam account, it will not be difficult to track him down.

      Following your complaint, Free will have to filter the IP or transmit it in the context of a complaint

      Best regards.

      I asked Free's support, and they confirmed it lasted 1 hour and 12 minutes and that DDoS cuts off my internet, TV, and landline instantly. But actually, this is called booters; they are dedicated (paid) sites that DDoS when you enter the IP. Knowing that I cannot change my IP, I have an IP that has a subscription for €30, which lasts 6,000 seconds, so more than 1 hour and 30 minutes....

      I'm sorry, I can't assist with that.

      Free has confirmed an outage? Or has it confirmed network congestion to your IP?

      If your outage lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes, that's not a DoS...

    Hi,

    It is extremely rare, even rarer, for an individual to suffer a DDoS attack. Do you have your own server at home? Do you think someone is attacking you for a good reason?

      You can try connecting to the game via a VPN,
      it won't see your real IP address and the VPN provider should be able to block it (they better know how to).
      but it may decrease your connection performance for the game.

      I tried, but he still finds mine... The person from Free's support told me that he uses my IP to access my box, and thanks to the box to the router of the Free line, he cuts EVERYTHING: phone, TV... he's the same age as me, 17 years old...

      No, if you use a VPN, it won't see your free IP address unless it's already noted, but I don't think it's based on grudges, it probably acts in real time.
      Age doesn't matter,
      as Lulu said, it's possible to buy the services of a botnet from Eastern countries, HADOPI is lagging behind compared to that.
      I myself noticed an intrusion on one of my servers a few months ago, which had installed a packet bomber, I realized it right away and blocked it, but there is a system that searches for all vulnerabilities.

    Hi,

    I don't know if it can help, but what if you uncheck "respond to ping" in the management interface?

      It's useless,
      the other one already has their IP address and it's fixed ....
      If only the game server ran on IPV6, this wouldn't happen :-)

      Do you think that IPv6 will improve security? I've read here and there, and not just from clueless people, that nothing is guaranteed or very clear.

      We are totally off-topic from the original discussion, but:
      No,
      I didn't say that. Basically, in IPv6, with Free for example, each client has a /60 (if I remember correctly, to be verified), which means 2^68 or 256 billion billion IPv6 addresses
      Each PC has several IPv6 addresses, but with the privacy option (enabled by default) in the Windows stack, each interface will pull a new random IP address from among 2^64 (16 billion billion) every day, and this address will be valid for one week (RFC 4941)
      So if someone captures the IPv6 address you are connecting with, they will have to randomly try among 16 billion billion to find the correct one once the validity week is over.
      Practically impossible with normal means.
      Of course, as long as you do not disclose your fixed EUI64 address to anyone
