Hello all,
I have recently received a mail regarding I had received a DDOS attack, and netcup raised shields for me to protect me from the attack. While I appreciate the protection, the DDOS behavior was coming from my Home NAS. Actually, I mounted my home nas with sshfs, so I guess the communication got intense for a prolonged time (like downloading something I guess). My home bandwidth is 1 Gbit, so it can get as intense as this.
Anyways, is there a way to whitelist my ip for that protection?

This is a question for the support desk, and not for the customer forums. But I'm interested in the answer, so please share it with us later. 🙂

A "DDOS" from one IP is - per definition - no "distributed" Denial of Service attack, which would come from many many destinations.
Long transfers etc. normally do not trigger Netcup's DDOS protection. So maybe that wasn't it.

I agree with your explanation - however last time Netcup activated the filter for me they included log snippets with the source IP addresses, hence I figured the poster might have compared those with the one from their home.

Did you get the issue fixed? Curiously enough I get only 100-200Mbit/s to my FTTH (1Gibt/s symmetric) connection, from my server as also from e.g. an Arch mirror at a netcup server. When I run the connection via a VPN, hosted at a DC which has the same provider as my FTTH connection, I get around 800-900Mbit/s.
I created a support ticket now.
