DDoS Attack on my Gaming Server

[rafay]

Hello, I hope that everyone is doing great so the reason I came here is to find help because recently I am having lots of issues with my gaming server, I don’t even know who’s attacking my network but I am having lots of downtime because of it. I am running windows 10 and i tried to use windows firewall to block those Ip Addresses but it’s seems totally useless to me so can anyone suggest something better please thank you!

ZoneAlarm Free firewall and Comodo Firewall are two good free programs.
but there are others.
and of course, all the top anti-virus programs have inbuilt firewalls.

but for a DDoS block, I’d be looking at a hardware solution rather than a software solution.
log onto your modem/router and see what can be done on that level.

I am using a standard router of Tp-link, which isn’t able to stop DDoS attacks! is it ok to buy a used firewall of a Cisco and attached it with my server? or can you suggest to me any good dedicated Anti-DDoS device under 150$?

I don’t know of any DDoS devices that I can suggest.
All I know is the modems I have used in the past have had a Security or Firewall or Advanced (or such) section in their menu structure where you can tick and setup DMZ, DDoS, Dos and other security settings.

is the gaming server for your own use, or is it accessible to the outside world for other gamers to use?
if it’s outward facing on a WAN rather than a LAN and you want protection, I recommend getting professional hardware and paying for an hour or so to get it setup correctly.
