I think that my VDS is being attacked currently and still hasnt stopped. Netstat doesnt really show anything, but i've been using windump to show me all packets going into my server. It seems that there are many different ips sending packets of the same size (14). How can i block them? This is port specific and srcds isn't crashing.
If you need to see the list of current connections etc please let me know. Thanks

Re: Server Attack?
On Windows, there's no easy way to block packets of a certain size. If they're coming from a discrete set of hosts, though, you could block each IP.
Are you seeing lag or problems in-game?

Re: Server Attack?
Yea, i can't find the server in the server list and i can't connect. It's been occurring for the past day. I've switched ports for now which fixed the issue but ill need to use it again. Would u recommend i switch to another os?
Re: Server Attack?
On Linux, you'd be able to block by packet length, so there could be some advantage to that. But, it also might not help in your case, if your traffic matches legitimate traffic, as well.
It sounds like you're either being flooded with 0-length packets, or query packets -- probably the latter. You might try running DAF or Query Cache, from here: http://wiki.alliedmods.net/SRCDS_Hardening#Lag.2FDOS. I haven't tested them with the latest game updates, though, and Query Cache reportedly does not work for TF2, just CSS (I don't know which game you're running).

Re: Server Attack?
On Query Cache, there's an updated version here, it looks like: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=134373. But, I don't know if it works, either. With so many game updates coming out, it's hard for plugin authors to keep up.
Re: Server Attack?
Alright, just installed query cache, as i had DAF before and im gonna see how it goes. Thanks for your quick response.
Re: Server Attack?
Yea that worked perfectly, thank you very much. You guys are awesome.

Re: Server Attack?
Following up your message john, after all of these continuous updated DAF still does work. They're on version 3 of it now.
