Ask HN: Best practices against DDoS attacks in game servers
Hello HN, I’m hosting a custom game server for a game and i’m getting some DDOS attacks.
The game server requires me to use Windows and have an UDP port open, so currently my edge firewall is blocking all incoming traffic exempt for that UDP port.
I’m also using OVH as my provider, they seem to have UDP DDOS mitigation and a pretty good network.
My question is, what tools can be used to help manually mitigate a DDOS attack? Like using Wireshark or something to detect the attacker IPs and adding those to the edge firewall? Any tips on how to do this on wireshark? Any other software recommendations?
Thank you
