Funny (or maybe not funny) you should mention that. My VPS got
shut-down last-night by my hosting provider because there was "Traffic
size:[627 Mbit/sec]". I am not certain if it was an "actual" DDoS
attack, or just the fact that there was so much demand for FoF
servers. I had 8 FoF servers running, and all were PACKED (0 slots
available) most of the time they were on-line. Since there are way
more servers for FoF available now, I backed my hosting down to just 3
FoF game-server instances. So far the traffic has not been a problem.
I think most hosting providers see a large amount of traffic using UDP
and ports they do not recognize, and assume it is a DDoS.
We shall see if my problem recurs.

Any server-operators out there looking for another Source-based
game to play (and more importantly HOST)?
"Fistful of Frags" could use your help. FoF launched (for FREE)
on Steam yesterday, and the response has been overwhelming.
The down-side to that, is frankly there just are not enough
dedicated servers to keep-up with the demand. There are over 200
player-slots of dedicated servers - but that apparently just is
not enough!
FoF is basically a "reboot" of the older FoF "sourcemod" - moved
over to Steam. The Steam version of FoF is kind-of stripped-down
right now to just death-match and team-based death-match.
Even so, it is very fun to play (especially four-team DM).
However, being a free game (put-together by unpaid volunteers),
the FoF dev team simply can not afford to bring-up enough servers
to keep up with demand. I have personally helped-out by hosting 8
servers instances myself (up from my planned 3).
Obviously, it runs on SRCDS and uses SteamCMD/SteamPipe for
installation/content delivery. So, it essentially installs just
like any SRCDS game, and is compatible with SourceMod, etc.
Steam store page (where to get client to install):
http://store.steampowered.com/app/265630
Steam community "hub" for FoF (discussion groups, etc.):
http://steamcommunity.com/app/265630
Steam "official" group page (update history, etc.):
http://steamcommunity.com/games/fof
Any help appreciated!

Anyone else getting (D)DoS attacked hosting this game? I just got
an email, and my US servers were just hit with an attack. My EU
servers were attacked the same day I put them up. Luckily my US
server has mitigation, but I had to leave my EU servers down for
now. How can someone try to attack servers on a free mod, it isn't
like we have pay to win, ads, or even reserved slots on our servers.

our full 7 FoF servers were only utilizing 30Mbit(with rates allowing as
much bandwidth as possible). Sounds like an attack to me.
