@HalfEatenPie Its a regular occurrence for us. Often see people go through all the attack methods too trying to break it. Could be competitors, could be testers. Could even be both at the same time. I doubt a single person was behind the 120Gbps peak yesterday (2.4k views on a thread so a few...

X4B was getting hit by some kind of PHP based L7 (UA pattern "PHP"), a cache buster pattern "/?=[num]" and a Joomla reflection attack earlier today. Not wrecking my day, couldn't care less. Aside from burning some bandwidth, pretty harmless. Its what we get for posting on LET these days. But...

less than 20Gbps is probably 80-90% of attacks. Perfectly fine if you aren't an attack magnet. More and more game servers, and similar attack magnets are needing >20Gbps now days. But not everyone needs it. My recommendations would be: 2-4Gbps: Dont bother. Only people hitting this low are...

Some estimations given tests performed and attacks seen. Free stressers (e.g ipstresser) put out 500 - 2Gbps (up from last year).  Some cheap ones 5-8Gbps. Some decent/better cheap - moderate ones 10 - 25Gbps. There are more private ones that are 40Gbps plus. And some private / botnet...

Eek, Ive shrunk and grown my partition on many occasions (different jobs requiring Linux etc where a VM wouldn't suffice e.g. for GPU access). Good to know.

Can't you just use the Disk Management snap in?

Have you looked in your logs for a Layer7 DDoS? Or a (small) Layer4 DDoS since you are using mpm-prefork.

@Nett was just about to say the same. Gotta stop getting distracted when posting!

Ey my Mann, could I have access? Had a couple of articles I wanted to write and if I am lucky seeing them with a bounty might make it happen :P

Nor do you really need a RDBMS for messages. A simpler database system could easily run this on a 256-512mb vps.

I had Hetzner servers for over 4 years, I was very impressed. Only one hard drive replacement, and it was handled professionally and without too much downtime. It would have been nice if they did hotswap replacement, but given the desktop grade hardware they sell its probably not supported...

@iWF-Jacob That image doesnt load here, I was curious to see that. One thing I missed when I was making my post, be careful about advertising DDoS protection as one of your key features. You will for sure attract those who get regular attacks, regular attacks that will likely cause instability...

@SentinelTower Well if you trust someone else to run the certificate generation client they could do it for you, but in all likelihood the EFF may offer a web interface or something in addition to the open protocol for requesting certificates.

Ok I kind of forgot to post an update, so here it is. Full GRE Tunnel support, and a few bug fixes. Its now considered production quality, we and our customers have been running a system with the same core engine in production for months :) Download: https://www.x4b.net/files/wintunnelcli-2.exe...

Well I approve, regardless of size a new venture is a new venture and should be given appropriate consideration. There is no need to be negative guys (constructive criticism is much nicer), we all need to start somewhere. Starting a Datacenter involves significant capital, so well done...

Nothing right now :(

Ah the problems... PoP switches.... That is when the most cost-effective route changes, most likely interrupting any TCP streams (and the sessions of any UDP applications). Anycast is not for the feint of heart, especially when running a production service on it (as opposed to reaping benefits...

Multiple routes to a single IP address where the routes end up in different locations. The connecting users will always end up at the closest destination, i.e lowest cost path. Uses: - CDN / Latency Optimization - High Availability (HA) - Load Balancing for Geo-Diverse traffic (including for...

IP addresses are announced under our providers ASN (AS46844). Layer 7 is handled via an in-house solution (signatures, reasonable limits & optional: dynamic patterns and passive or active client verifications). No Europe in this network at this stage, the three PoP's are those listed. --- An...

Can you see the hard drive in the bios (boot menu)?
