Oh wow. I remember a couple months ago the ATL datacenter had network issues too. Really annoying, but I guess it's not their fault 100%. I wish they offered more DDoS protection solutions. I know some VPS companies specialize in that offering for things like game servers. It'd be nice if some sort of solution could just be included. I don't know if it's more of a technical issue or legal problem. As far as I know the only way is to null route(which is an inconvenience to the website, but no traffic going to the router other client's are on) or just adding a bunch of servers to "soak" up the extra bandwidth.
- X-Istence 11y agoOVH does VPS's and they have their own Anti-DDoS network setup that is pretty amazing: https://www.ovh.com/us/anti-ddos/ https://www.ovh.com/us/anti-ddos/
- Keverw 11y agoInteresting. What is "Multi-point Mitigation"? I know it mentions a few locations. I googled it and it just brings me back to that page. I wonder if any solution would shutdown a VM and then restart it on another host but that'd be really sucky in some situations like an app might not shutdown cleanly, or the app is in the middle of something like charging a credit card.
- X-Istence 11y agoMulti-point just means that the traffic is going to flow to the nearest datacenter that hosts the VAC, gets filtered and checked and then traverses on to your system. The goal is to spread the DDoS out over as many different bandwidth heavy locations as possible.

- workitout 11y agoI have most OVH IP's blocked on my servers because I get too many hack attacks from VMs they are hosting for their customers.
- X-Istence 11y agoPeople also block all of Linode, DigitalOcean, AWS and others. To me it just seems silly.
