I know we cannot solve it so easily, We most have the ISP intervention in that matter, but now we suffer for months and they don't have a way to help in that matter besides to close the route to Israel.
We own the servers and the servers located in Israel, the communities/players are from Israel too. Since the DDOS attacks started most of our communities not functioning and we stopped all our plans for the tournaments. The size of the attacks are between 300MB to 15GB+ (as the ISP says) almost every day sometimes more the then 2/3 times a day. The firewall logs shows lots of requests in game ports from all around the world (I don't think that is the issue - when those requests are coming the system functioning), when the attack starts all the systems are not available, the last thing we tried is to allow traffic just from Israel and Steam in the firewall policy and it's not helping. When attack starts we getting alerts then we calling to the ISP and they stopping the route to our network but then all the servers are not functioning because we lost the connectivity to Steam in the process so we don't have VAC and more Steam functions in game (happens in TF2 and CSGO) off curse all players losing interest in the game and to come back to play. In the monitor graphs I can see the attacks but when I am looking in the firewall I cannot find anything/point on the bad traffic. As I understood I cannot do anything from the servers / firewall :( In the past my community was a Steam content provider until they changed owners, can you tell if this partnership includes a HL Master ( https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3326-TDKV-4603 ) Is it possible to have HL Master server in Israel ? If it possible it can solve the problem ? (in a way that the ISP closing the route and the only server communicate with Steam is the HL Master) On Wed, Feb 5, 2014 at 6:58 PM, Jonathan Key <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm an admin on the KurruptGaming Gmod Group, a small community of 1 > DarkRP Server, with another in the works.
