Hello Fellow Windows 2008 Game Server Owners, Today one of my TF2 servers on the dedicated server box I own and colocate in California got DDOS attacked by a guy who announced the attack via in-game chat and then attacked it. The attack got my IP auto-nulled by my datacenter (AGAIN), which has happened at least a dozen times in the past couple months. After almost 10 years of running servers and dealing with this bullshit, I'm at the point where I'm ready to spend the bucks to purchase a hardware device or some firewall software that says "Fuck you! - Not happening this time dickhead" to these people and I really need your advice on where to go and what to buy. There's a lot of admin and Windows experience here on this list so I'm hoping some of some of you can help me and we can have a dialog here that may help others as well.
Your help would be GREATLY appreciated by me as well as others on this list I'm sure. Warmest regards, Mike Vail Windsor, Ca. USA
