Easy way to stop the attack would be to change the servers ip address? Find where the packages are coming from and ban his ip... But he's most likely using a proxy or a vpn. And how do you know its 30gbps? Thats a shit load, it cant be one guy doing it unless he's got a shit load of bandwidth.

I was on that one after I posted this. I mainly posted this to see if it could help the owners know what they are dealing with (although I highly doubt that it helps too much).

It's even harder to find out who it is, most likely someone that's got banned or competing servers.

Possibly competing servers spider.

Has wL Experienced a major Ddos attack before?

Ive been playing on wl for over a year (71 days on 24/7 office alone) and I have never seen this before. Only sever resets and changes/updates. No major attacks from my view.

Matt said it was a DDoS attack, meaning "Distributed Denial of Service". The attack is coming from multiple computers, but probably orchestrated by one person, likely using a botnet. This also means there is not just 1 IP to block. Just so you know

Yeah i know, that's what i said.

I believe they are DDoS-ing it by un-authorizing or un-authenticating along with (in the words of bison) "just filling up our pipes"
