New Anti DDoS is live

[Kylegrey2 31]

Cautiously optimistic... we will see.

[Zian 68]

Well that was a fun few hours...

Probably best not to announce any new Anti-DDOS software on the forums from now on.

Hi all,

 

As of 8am we went live with the new Anti DDoS solution.

 

The team has been monitoring all afternoon, and it’s looking good so far. Seeing some nice low latency just in time for the holiday weekend.

 

For those US-based Jericho players who have been frustrated, I encourage you to give it a shot.

 

This solution uses a combination of systems, many of which had to be installed at the edge network in front of our gateway and servers. It was originally scheduled to go live in April, but our provider kept delaying due to conflicts with some of the other tenants using the same network.

 

Hopefully this is a good step in the right direction.

 

Thanks,

Matt

I get thrown out of the game when I change weapons. opening inventory. in fight club. and then scan the files. reinstalled the game, it helped, but not for long. creator. fix it already. How much can you write here??? Hate it. until this game starts... until you enter the password... very long. I don't have a weak computer. I don't want to watch those videos. remove all downloads. I'm not going to play it. previously, this problem was not. where else should I write to be heard??? I hope you understand me. for the interpreter such... let the game open quickly without unnecessary problems. who needs to let watches these videos and downloads elsewhere. I was thrown out of the game and I don't want to go there anymore and wait

a DDoS is happening?

[MACKxBOLAN 427]

It is a step in right direction, unfortunately I am here to report ddos activity/Lag and disconnect Jericho/Fin/Bronze

  I realize there may be adjustments and bugs to work out, please keep working on it.

Literally got kicked a few times after getting massive lag. I wasn't the only one according to district chat. Whatever is happening it feels like a tug of war between this new "countermeasure" and the people DDOSing the server.

[Hiaro 20]

Yeah, servers lagged out incredibly hard and crashed.

[vsb 6171]

i wonder if posting a solution to the ddosing was taken as some sort of challenge by the perpetrators

 

perhaps it would have been better to say nothing at all

[MACKxBOLAN 427]

EARTHQUAKE SO CAL 6.6 THEY SAY,,We got a goood ride

i live in the mojave, it was still bout 50 mile north of me, but they felt it all the way Down Below in L.A.

  pardon my non topic post.   must be that tug of war with ddos cause a major quake

Does this apply to xbox too?

[Eerie 16]

Your new DDOS mitigation is worse than the last one. DDoS lag still occurs as well as causes people to actually get DC'd. Congrats, I didn't think mitigation could actually be any worse.

[mattskoii 67]

I would say the true test would be when UE 3.5/4 (Well hopefully by the time 4 is released that LO would have enough data in making their firewall tighter to stop brute force client side attacks) is released and to see how easy it would be to truly DDoS'ed to do brute force client side attacks.

Hi all,

 

For anyone that is experiencing lag, please run /latencyreport in-game and then send the log to me over Private Message.

I can confirm that the DDoS protection has been working since it was installed.

It sounds like these issues may be legitimate server issues.

 

I am hopeful that we can start back up working on server stability / speed, now that we can eliminate DDoS as a source of slowness.

 

Thanks,
Matt

[NotZombieBiscuit 3146]

I'll fire up the botnet and give it a test.

Latency is very bad for countries beyond the sea.

Phrasing it like that could sound like a challenge to some groups that are into things like that... Just sayin

Very much appreciate the effort.

DDOS: Challenge accepted.

[Zian 68]

So I had been playing for 4 hours, 7am to 11am. I had no disconnects until five minutes after 11am, then the lag hit as hard as when the game was being under a DDOS attack. Several players complained about lag in district chat, and I wouldn't be surprised if they also disconnected from the game. Yesterday the same things happened, and prior to this announcement it was just as bad.

 

Someone really hates Little Orbit as much as they hated Gamersfirst.

Where do you live if you don't mind me asking? I'm in mid-west Canada and I get 40-80ms on Jericho and around 120-150 on Citadel, so this sounds like an internet issue on your end.

[Uhtdred 235]

looks like it's not working..

[SWEETinsanity 1]

Sure it's working like a charm, maybe that's why me and some other people keeps getting disconnected more than five times per day since the " New DDoS protection " went live. The server starts lagging hard and disconnects everyone...

 

Great Job, Little orbit!
