Reduce DDoS Attacks

[integrapynoy]

I know there really isnt any way of reducing DDoS attacks unless the network provider puts some sort of traffic filtering upstream to prevent the attacks from reaching the last point/hop (my machines) but is there any other way to help reduce it? Things that can be to help minimize the chances of an attack occuring?

 

Any suggestion would be greatful.

 

Thanks

Remove the incentive for the attacks.

 

We had one customer, who flat-out make hacks for this game, and people were DDoSing his server. From that point on, we dropped his service. (for that and ethical reasons)

Either get a ddos protection plan or just drop the client.

 

Mostly has to do with role playing games like garry's mod, css, and the specialist.
