How to combat DDOS attacks on my hosted-at-home gameserver?

Zahir Khan

Hi all,

 

Over the past few weeks I have been in receipt of DDOS attacks.

And yesterday for the first time my pc crashed an restarted.

How can I combat this?

These are some of the lines in my logfile highlighting the attacks.

The game that I am hosting is Dayz Standalone

    Hi Zahir ,

     

    From which device have you collected these logs. On our Sophos Firewall Home/Business we have DDOS protection.

    Hiya Aditya,

    These logs lines (each line of text not the complete log) came from the BATTLEYE Logs for my game server.

    I have noticed that internet has gone very slow over the last few days and yesterday or the day before (I cannot remember) the system crashed.

    I am using Sophos Home Premium and the license is finishing towards end of January 2019

     

    So if Sophos have a product which can save my game server from the DDOS attacks then that would be great!

    I cannot simply hide/change the IP Number of my static IP because it is needed to for the gamers and also it is displayed inside the DayZ Game Browser (where you select a server to join).

     

    If you can tell me where to look for the Sophos Home Premium logs maybe I can upload them here or part of them (the relevant bits)

     

    Thank You for any and all help,

    I'm in desperate need of help!

    Currently the server is offline (switched off at the power socket in the wall) until I can resolve this.

     

    Just for the record.

    I have not misbehaved/offended to anyone and this is a consequence...

    I think whats happened is someone has been banned for cheating by BattlEye (as various player id's are highlighted for cheating in the logs)

    and taken offence and this is a consequence.

    What you have from what I see does not have DDOS protection.

     

    But you have to remember with hosting a home server is that anytime people connect or try to connect multiple times it would be considered a DDOS that is why when games get released you see ether a que or servers down since so many people are trying to login at once. 

     

    Running a home game server usually is barely ever safe since you are giving them direct IP access and you can not hide it, I would suggest honestly just renting a server all together so you do not have to worry about people who are mad trying to ddos you.

    Hi Zahir ,

     

    You can protect using Sophos Home Firewall XG for your Home . 

    https://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-xg-firewall-home-edition.aspx

     

    Sophos Home Premium is endpoint protection that does not protect you from network based attacks.
