They're overwhelming us!
They're overwhelming us!
Thanks for your prompt responses. I already have logs, but if my friends are different, that changes the situation. One of them is in Belgium, so I should confirm with them. We’re using a RP server (they don’t like it), and because we’re part of a whitelisted group, TS3 helps us send whispers to various channels. It’s quite entertaining until some people don’t get what they want. Most are asking for IP changes, but they keep finding new IPs despite their efforts. Plus, one friend in Scotland had to pay for an IP change and a new router—£23 total. That really disrupted his daily routine. For him, filling out the online form was problematic; his internet is now very slow and causing problems at home. I can handle it myself, but for my friends it doesn’t work.
It seems this topic might resemble a gaming server setup, though it's not exactly CS:GO. If it's impacting you, switching platforms or creating your own server would be a good idea.
In my view, it is completely unreasonable for an ISP to simply respond with "nothing we can do." If your service is disrupted, they should be accountable for resolving the issue. Their network is under threat, and you are just renting a connection from them.
ISP must follow their own service agreements when an IP is compromised. The main factor is the level of support provided. There’s no evidence of DDOS assaults in this case. Being taken offline doesn’t confirm a DDOS incident. Such attacks typically cause targeted damage that isn’t fully explained here. If you host your own servers, it becomes simpler for attackers to locate your new IP address, making changes ineffective. You can also disrupt the attackers by cutting the WAN cable from your router—they’ll lose their connection during the assault.
