    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

    DDoS and now something new again?

        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.

                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?

                    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.

                      Attack vectors DNSFRAGMENT.jpg

                      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.
