SYN flood, what else can I do?
Here's my problem:As soon as my server reaches a certain amount of traffic, I get hit pretty hard (SYN flood) and the server becomes really slow (takes about a minute to load a 120k page, on DSL!). I have Floodguard installed, but it doesn't seem to do much. It's been worst a few weeks ago, so I assume Floodguard is helping a little, but I'm just wondering if there's anything else I can do? I'm probably the only one with that problem, and I'd like to hear from those who have experienced that. I just can't believe that there's nothing else I can do, that I have to sit around and wait a few days for it to stop! Should I pay to get someone to manage the server and take care of this, if so, any idea?
Hope you can help!
Thanks.
