how to protect the looking-glass / test-ip

hi

as the topic goes, how do you protect your looking-glass / test-ip

only CSF+LFD or APF+BFD or any thing else...

any hassle of DDoS attact, and if so, how to protect the ip from vulnerabilities...

just suggestions...

(i am not under any attack, just trying to build protection for future)

Comments

  • The server will need to be DDoS protected itself. You won't be able to reverse-proxy it since the test IP is written on the page...

    Looking glass shouldn't really matter if it gets attacked, a null route wouldn't even be noticed probably.

    try rate limit per ip. As ddos depend on your host

    what about CSF?

    will it be of any initial use in countering it

    Wouldn't be any use due to the risk of Cloudflare interfering with caching, even if the download is bigger than their cache limit it'll still be relayed by the Cloudflare network I believe.

    Ah, silly me, not sure why I thought of Cloudflare when you said CSF. I'm not too sure about all the options CSF has but as others have mentioned, if it's a volumetric attack then CSF will be useless, it may only be useful if it has a way to rate limit downloads if you're afraid of someone wasting bandwidth on you.
