Comment on How I accidentally slowed down my nextcloud instance for months

  Tell this to the Russian bots that are hammering my personal site for some reason.

  It’s way easier to make a rule “no Russia” or even “only my country”

    That’s not a ddos. Not even close. Your ISP would be getting involved if it were.

    You don’t even need to do a distributed dos against a home system since your bandwidth is so easy to overcome. A single EC2 instance could flood your standard home network.

      it’s not a distributed denial of service but a single bot asking the same fucking wordpress page every 100ms is still a denial of service on my poor home server. In one click i was able to ban the whole asian continent without too much effort

        Has it “denied service” to you? I’d be genuinely surprised. Are you on dial-up? I’ve run servers on my home network for “never you mind how long” and have never had a denial of service due to bot traffic.

    Getting brute forced by bots isn’t a DOS attack.
