Posted 5 years ago
#1
So recently i m getting ddos as i am using a service provider which provide ddos protection but still my server getting ddos. So i tried to use cloudflare.Got my domain name and did the dns forward.so now my ip is hidden .But still the problem is on battlematrics when i search my server. I can see my server and when i click there and ip is shown and thats my original ip not the cloudflare ip .  So the thing is  i want my ip secure so that no one can see it and ddos it.
Can someone tell me how to make some changes so my ip goes hidden from battlematrics

If your actual server IP address is being attached, putting the server behind CloudFlare or any other DDoS provider isn't going to fix anyone already attacking that server really.

The DNS hostname is just an alias for your IP address, it does not hide it, you can still lookup the hostname and it will give you the IP address.

What makes you think you're being DDOS'd? What region are you in?

thanks for the reply gentleman. 

@Wulf so once i know how to hide my ip . i m gonna ask my hosting provider to change my ip so that attack will not have access to my new ip
ok so my server is this https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/rust/7558207
and now the thing is i am obsucating my original ip address by using a domain name and pointing to cloudflare server. and cloudflare server link to my original server . this way if some ping my domain name its showing cloudflare ip and its protecting my server from ddos.  i also able to connect to my server using 

panipuri5x.xyz:28015  and this domainname is protected and it doesnt allow anyone get my ip if they go through this. but this battlematrics is not letting me do it as it shows my ip there.
i have checked eu rustoria battlematrics this is showing in address of rustoria us :   vanilla.rustoria.us:28015 
so i want either my ip completely doesnt shows at battlematrics by changing some files in server. or i want my domain name to be shown instead of my original ip.

Note i have talked to my hosting company and they told me i m getting ddos.so yeah. please help.

my host is linode.com 

Merged post

there has to be any parameter or batchfile thingy which if we put hide our ip and doesnt relay to battlematrics. Do know how battlematrics talk to the server and get the details.

OVH.com best hosting provider for game servers. You will never get DDOS'ed ever again.

You usually get an e-mail like this 

Dear Customer,

We have just detected an attack on IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

In order to protect your infrastructure, we vacuumed up your traffic onto our mitigation infrastructure.

The entire attack will thus be filtered by our infrastructure, and only legitimate traffic will reach your servers.


At the end of the attack, your infrastructure will be immediately withdrawn from the mitigation.

Cloudfare's standard pricing plans only provide DDoS protection for http (website) traffic, not game servers, so that whole thing is pointless.

In your OP you said "i am using a service provider which provide ddos protection". If you are paying for it, then why don't you ask them why they aren't providing it?

It's not on their standard pricing though, you have to apply for it and I'm guessing it costs more than anyone here would be willing to pay :)
