My network has reset several times and I’ve narrowed it down to an apparent DDOS attack. Never the same IP source, all hitting the specific port I use for incoming qBt traffic, shutting down the client doesn’t help, router is getting 10-20 requests per second for idk, several hours. Is there anything I can do about this?
Edit: Thanks everyone, it’s apparently not an attack and my router just sucks aha. My router’s log was filled with “DoS(SyN-Flooding)” messages, and according to Wikipedia that’s a DDoS attack:
“DoS(SYN Flooding): IN=ppp1 OUT=br0 MAC= SRC=source-ip DST=qbt-ip LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=54 ID=52897 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=source-port DPT=qbt-port WINDOW=64240 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 MARK=0x8000000”
Thank you so much! Turns out my router is buggy and yes, I realized the hits were just peers. I’m a stoopid
Buy a real router, solve the issue permanently without restricting yourself.
I had the same issue with my router, and i had to go into Advanced -> Socket Backlog Size and set it to 1 (default is 5) to completely fix it. Do you have a TP-Link router as well?
