Please help asap. How do I prevent spamm comming to my server?
Hey! I have a gaming server set up on linux and one guy keeps spamming it with bots (no players can connect). He has a dinamic IP so I fail to ban him. All I know is that he makes up to 300 connections from his IP per second (from logs). Is there a way to ban him automaticly anytime he tries to connect like that? I heard you can use iptables for such tasks, but I am really not that good in linux to figure out how to do it by myself. Please help asap, because we have a donation-based funding system and we're loosing much money, since if players can't play, they won't donate. Thanks in advance.
Someone told me you can only have one -m (which does not seem to be true for CentOS). But in the link above you can find an example with one -m in a line.
Please respond if anything here resolves your problem (also if it does not).
