DDoS Protection
How do you stay protected from a DDoS attack, if you have a Virgin Media Superhub?
Which Security options do you enable on the Superhub?
Thanks

Re: DDoS Protection
Disabling ping response is about all you can do, what exactly is your situation? are you being DDoSed?

No, I just wanted to know how you would protect yourself if someone DDoS attacked your IP address...

Re: DDoS Protection
Just why would you expect a home IP address to suffer a DDoS?

Re: DDoS Protection
The only way to protect against a DDoS is to have your ISP null-route your IP at the border.
Absolutely nothing you could ever do on a Superhub will give you any sort of protection whatsoever

Re: DDoS Protection
Not responding to pings would most likely make the attacker give up though

Some here would have you washing your mouth out with soap for casting such aspersions against the bestest hub in the known universe.

Re: DDoS Protection
No, they wouldn't - but well done on the off-topic ad hominem aspersion......

Re: DDoS Protection
So does tomato firmware, it just drops packets if it gets a suspicious amount of ping requests, something my router was doing when I was running ping monitors from 2 servers as well as thinkbroadbands monitor, it was showing 10% packet loss on each
