@Althalus just 200! Good luck!

These attacks are getting old! So until my original solution is done. I look at cloudflare tomorrow. But to tell you the truth I have been looking at how they are attacking and think cloudflare wont help as much as people think.

i'm not certain but one of the things i read while looking cloudfare up related to ddos attacks is that you can hide your servers ip from the internet by using cloudfare, what i mean is they'll probably only get to know addresses of cloudfare. Was something about messing with a records of domains. But the problem is however, if that's how it's done, is that they already found out your servers ip and if the cloudfare thing is just hiding it, it's already too late unless you have a way to trigger an ip change with your isp somehow. see https://blog.cloudflare.com/ddos-prevention-protecting-the-origin/

no big deal I move pool to unknown address.

tross

I could also use a dynamic ip lol

joyrider3774

all it takes (without something as cloudfare) then is just doing an nslookup or just ping the address and it shows the (new) ip. Same thing with dynamic ip's. Another problem with dynamic ip's is the (local) cache of dns records making people not able to connect if your ip changed regularly and they are getting the ip from the dns cache. one could flush dns cache locally though but not everyone might be aware of that. Although with things like dydns or similar so (not certain your using that) you actually only get a subdomain so not sure how it works there.

Sitting around watch my pool be attack is not the answer either. I guess if I wasnt smart I would plaster the name of people that would attack me. But with no real proof that would be suicide. Well instead of shooting down my ideas why dont you tell me what I should do for protection <<<that will work!

@tross only trying to help, don't know much about it either, only that dynamic ip or just switching address (like domain name) will probably not work, behind the scenes everything is done using ip addresses.

dns servers are basically database telling address.xxx.com equals this ip

so changing address.xxx.com to something new will not work as all they have to do to know the new ip is do a nslookup (query a dns server to get the new ip) or ping the address as it will do it automatically.

My guess with the little understanding i have is either block the traffic someway or use something like cloudfare and use their ddos attack preventing system (which i think basically hides your servers ip and make cloudfare infrastructure handle the load). but even if you use cloudfare after setting it up you need to have least changed your servers ip once (not the address but the ip) because your current ip is comprimised.

I'm sorry i don't know more about it either i'm only a (delphi) programmer by days work

Well miners this is tross test pool and test miner behind Cloudflare ! As soon as I obtain an unknown ip address and check if it is secure. Meaning my ip cant be found out. Then I will move the pool.

But now the bad news! I will have to change mining port to 8080!

I will post a date when the change will happen!

tross

Looks like the vps had hardware problems and dont look good. I think of something

BitShifter

Yep, Definately not mining anymore... :(

trogatoga

Do you have a rough estimate of when you think the pool will be back up?

tross

Its back up! No idea what that was about!

Ok I pinged burstpool.site <<<<<test pool and I got an untraceable IP6 address.

BitShifter

@tross Back to mining!!!!!

joyrider3774

@tross yup i did a traceroute on burstpool.site and gotten an ipv4 ip address, then did a ip geolocation lookup using https://www.iplocation.net and came out in america (cloudfare). Also tried a reverse dns lookup (tries to find domain name from ip) on the ip i had found using the tracert / ping and it could not find any record. Not sure if it's ok but i'd expected a german location if it was not hidden. So i'm guessing al is indeed ok but i'm no expert :)

edit: i hope it's not on same server as your old one (the one from your signature) as if it's running on the same one with same ip it's also comprimised but i think you know that right

edit2: if it is the same one, just make sure you get new ip once you decomission your old pool

onionring9

looks like it's down again

tross

thanks I believe my provider is having vps problems I look

tross

The vps restarted again and dont know why. I cant stay up all night be will look at some point. Unless the attackers can shut down vps it must be a hardware problem. Should it continue I set up another vps.

edit unless the attackers can send power spikes then it was the weather or faulty machine. I was assured all was ok now but lets wait and see.

**This is the conf for my cloudflare test site for anyone who wants to see it work. You will have to change reward assignment to

I will make a big announcement tomorrow on the change to new server. It will happen around 9am Friday morning unless something comes up. <<<Just a heads up so all the miners see it. Server is almost done had some set backs today lol

http://burstpool.site/ <<<< the next best place to mine!

If you come I will dump some burst on the pool so wont be fruitless to try it!
