Hi blog server is under DDoS attack. It is nginx with fastcgi with wordpress. Any idea how to tune nginx to reduce damage?

I think your on the wrong forum.

hmm ddos attack is some thing that distrubs every one solution is some hardware firewall

Did you ever get your attack under control? Were you able to narrow down the IPs that were hitting you? If so, did you contact your web host or datacenter so they can block it on that level before ever getting to your site?

hi JohnAvo..

You can be a little more clear with your query.

You should contact your web host, they might be able to help you out in this regard,

Find out the IP address and block using iptables. Also, check this link for DDOS protaction http://www.fractalizer.ru/frpost_25/...o-your-server/

Hi,

If you are using VPS or Dedicated server you can try this.

Please accept my apology. I had already suggested the same solution in the previous post.

The easiest option would be to contact your host/data center. They are usually good about helping block this from their top level switches.

You might want to look at dot defender from applicure.com, its a great application that runs on your server that prevents such attacks and also gives you logs so you can see what is attempting to attack your server.

Contact your hosting provider, they should be able to help stop the attack

ddos atack is a terrible and hard thing....first of all,you should be ready for it...install some firewalls,some scripts on your site...
