Hey everyone.
I've been reading the threads here on the forums about protecting a vertual dedicated server from syn flood attacks and ddos attacks. I have tried those iptable solutions to block syn packets but they usually slow down the whole loading of the site or lock it for me aswell without an attack actually taking place.
Anyway could someone take me to a good tutorial how i can set a good firewall up on the virtual dedicated server. It is running CentOS Linux 5.2
sorry im quite new to linux and all this.
thanks in advance.
