DDoS and now something new again?

Time to take out my "The end is near" sign. This shit is legit scary. I am not logging in until this is over.

Anecdotally, after mucking around in 2 lobbies that instantly crashed for 40 mins, I went to play Starcraft 2 ladder and got 2 disconnects that forced me to forfeit a few hours apart, which is very rare (2 in one day is unheard of). So yeah I would not play custom lobbies without unplugging your router for 10 mins afterward if you play other competitive games like Starcraft or Counter Strike because until your IP changes it's gonna get hit.

Really unfortunate stuff, although I can't say I'm surprised people this manchildtarded lurk among the playerbase.

Same thing here. Thought my pc was broken. I even timed out connecting to this forum. AFter exiting the game nothing would load until I ran a network test and the Nvidia overlay popped up like id just entered a game again and my internet suddenly works perfectly.

SO how GAF makes their new Fire adapter? Does they spend so much money for this? Do faf realy cant spend donations to save server? Im sure it shouldnt cost so much money anyway, it cant be superexpensive just to fix this fuckn ip leak. Do this or faf dies, dont u understand? Let's just wait for it to go away on its own as always.

I checked with my internet provider
They said "your IP is dynamic and it changes automatically once every 24 h"
There is no way I can change my IP myself, outside of that

@Lenkin
Just a "what if"
What if GAF has all the same vulnerabilities, but just doesn't get ddosed?
I can only guess the reasons why.

My understanding is GAF does get DDOSed, but it routes all its connections through a central server so it's much less of a problem. It can do that because it has MUCH fewer players than FAF does

@Brutus5000 Is it possible to have a client update for the weekend where all connections go through relay only, to see what happens?
Better / worse / the same.

Currently completely unplayable.
Unless you are already working on a good solution, I don't see any other plan that can be implemented quickly to possibly improve the situation.

At the very least, further steps could then be planned based on the knowledge gained.

@Lenkin is GAF getting DDossed too? i

Yes, this is what we did for now. If this solves it, we'll work on more cost-effective solutions to keep it like that.

Well, whatever has been done. I can no longer connect AT ALL. Goes straight from "checking" to "disconnected" for all players.

So how do I help? Logs? If so, where do I upload them?

[Gibsaw]

So it seems... I can connect to other Australia or NZ players, or I can connect to US players with a US VPN... but it definitely seems AUS/NZ has been isolated.

[Sturmgewehr]

Since I play via my own vpn, i can see what is attacking me when I play faf.

Attack type: UDP DNS Fragment Flood
Source ports: Variable high ports (commonly around 40000)
Destination port: UDP 53 (DNS)
Always relatively short (but enough to ruin a match).

And no, nothing else runs on this server, and I only ever use it when I play faf.
