[techys]

Hello, i would like to make my server and site more secure.
I don`t know muc ha bout security or don`t know nothing.

I use whm at my vps with apache. It will help to change apache with litespeed ?

What other things i can do for protetion from ddos and dos ?

Install a good firewall

Only thing that will help is either get a ddos firewall which cost $$$ or get a 1-10gbps line.

Anything else i would just use csf, but that is only minor protection. If the ddos is strong enough it will overload the firewall and kill the server.

Also you can use a reverse proxy if they provide ddos protection. Use cloudflare to have a easier way to block ip's

JamesVaporH What is csf ?

csf is a firewall used in most whm/cpanel setups since it comes with a cpanel plugin.

Cloudflare!

You just change the nameservers to the ones you get from cloudflare and your done. Faster loading & Much more security.

Just use cloudflare for the best non hardware option.

Hardware wise, you are looking at a good thousand dollars.

Thanks. We can actually help mitigate most attacks (not all). Some general tips if you're going to use CloudFlare and you are having a DDoS.

Three Different Ways,

1) Install Physical Firewall of awesome company like Cisco OR
2) Use CDN like Cloudflare (www.cloudflare.com) OR
3) Buy Hosting from DDoS Protected Hosting Company like www.ShinJiru.com

You can minimize or even stop a DDoS attack if the attack is smaller. If someone with access of a data center (though its a very rare case) well then it is very difficult to stop them :/

CloudFlare just released a new tool to help site owners deal with DDoS attacks.

use this

netstat -anp | grep 80 | awk '{print $5}' | cut -f1 -d: | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

I don't see an option for "Im under attack mode" in my Cloudflare dash board?

 

[ravim]

Others company like Riorey is the most help full on DDOS Protection too

Hi,

I don't see an option for "Im under attack mode" in my Cloudflare dash board?

It appears in your settings (settings->CloudFlare settings->Security Settings->Basic Security Level->Use drop down
