Whitelisting IP for DDOS attack

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.
