An idea for a workaround:

I noticed that changing the port of the server and restarting temporary fixes the problem (prob because ddos targets specific port). Would it be possible to implement this as a special "restart" into assist? With all the players having game relaunched and / or reconnected to new port..

Development is "halted", new game/client/server/auth features aren't going to be implemented. The chances of patching and bug fixing is lower as well, the Main Developer is away and there's no info if he will ever look back into the project.

Strange, now the 2nd big datacenter telling good protection against ddos - but so far NOTreally protected. Ticket open to fix it

But you are also developer, you could also implement it, right?

No, I'm only good at using proxies.

Ask Mia then. She seems to be expert in networking, so she probably can code some stuff too.

this all will stop for sure when we have ddos protection like auth server and official #3 new york. some of us are trying to find such a server - which we can pay together. so far, we spent about 100Euro and a lot of work on it, but with no success. so maybe there will be a long way to go, dont know. any help is very welcome

I did now configured, as reqested by Microsoft, the servers tcp/ip stack against flood attacks. Should be better now, but not perfect. The last provider located dc in the Netherlands in now configuring the protection
