Take the 2-minute tour ×  This question already has an answer
here:  I've been totally unable to use my server for the last
couple of days. I've been contacting the owners of the IP's who
are attacking me but its an uphill battle. Since I don't know
who is doing the attack, what can I do to stop the attack?  I've
already talked to the colocation center and they told me that
they don't do any ddos mitigation(although I have a list of IP's
from before my server went down.)  I've considered bouncing the
packets to some of the smaller hosts which are attacking in
hopes that they go down but I really don't like the idea of
shooting the messenger. I don't understand why the companies
which host the IP's aren't doing anything to stop this. Help!

Aug 25 '13 at 17:34   I ended up resolving the issue by setting
up cloudflare's free CDN. It won't work for everyone but it
suited my needs just fine. –  devnill Jan 14 '12 at 2:33  2
