- aschwabe 11y agoIf the attack is over 10Gbps good luck with that... This stuff is best effort.
- Thaxll 11y agoI don't think so, 2years ago they mitigated 180gbps on one client. https://twitter.com/olesovhcom/status/386563685805617152/photo/1 https://twitter.com/olesovhcom/status/386563685805617152/pho... https://www.ovh.com/ca/en/anti-ddos/ddos-attack-management.xml https://www.ovh.com/ca/en/anti-ddos/ddos-attack-management.x... Also everyone here talk about L7, cloudflare ect.. but a lot of application are pure TCP/UDP based so you can't cache anything.
- nacs 11y agoI'd bet that 'one client' getting the ~200gbps DDoS has a massive monthly bill (likely hundreds/thousands of servers) so they're happy to mitigate short term DDoS. Most dedicated server providers won't go that far if you have a handful of servers.

- nacs 11y agoWhich VPS providers are you referring to? I know from personal experience that, Digital Ocean, the largest VPS provider null routes your VPS IP for 3 hours minimium for even the tiniest of DDoS's. I doubt most of the smaller VPS providers can afford to absorb DDoS's even if they don't have overly restrictive policies like DO.
- ju-st 11y agoI was thinking about these providers: buyvm.net for 3$ per month (100Gbit apparently) iwstack.com, 8Gbit protection for free ramnode.com, 20Gbit
