as i did post in the shoutbox, the auth server and the game servers has to be on the same datacenter on the same network, otherwise it is really hard to filter the traffic from good and bad ones. but yes, maybe there will be a 2nd auth server located in Europe. but since ELiZ is gone, i dont think that this can be done.
with the paypal account, where is the problem? even if the ddosser would pay for a folder to run server on this protected one, what can he do? i do not want to hold this paypal account - i would ask B!GSergio to handle it over the regular donation account. i know him good and the trust is there from both sides - so he can pay it in my name to the datacenter or i will. but the money has to come. nothing good is cheap.
But again, you don't have to challange it yet. first we need a protection that works. and i dont know how long it is to go this way. but one thing i know, without support from here it is a dead end road.
