Hide ip

Post by Sinnocent »

I am curious how to hide my servers IP, when you put your servers ip into host file too connect, some servers use an address like sever.Com instead of their IP. How is this possible, what's it called ?will it help against Ddos?

You can hide them, but anyone who wants to ddos your server will know how to use ping or nslookup on that host and find your ip address.

Maybe set up a proxy that sends the players to your real ip or something like that. But im pretty sure they can get the real ip using bot apps.

1. To hide your IP (similar to l2server.mywhateverdomain.com) you need to mask it with CNAME ;)

2. If you get DDosed (on Windows 7, Windows 2k8 R2)
Null Route
route add x.x.x.x mask 255.255.255.255 g.g.g.g if L

and what if you resolve that hostname? :problem:
Also null routing which of the 34532502 spoofed ips is going to help you?

Yes, I know, you can't prevent DDoS attacks masking your IP with CNAME or anything else but is better than nothing, that naked IP's .. yak. :)

If i'm not mistaken the hosts file is used to associate a hostname to an Ip address.
http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/what_is_hosts.html

The server.Com thing you see is basically prettyfiyng the IP addres with a domain name.

Say you have registered a domain called MyCoolServer.com then you can associate the domain to an IP address.
This is done by a Domain Name System or DNS.

It has no effect on hiding the IP address, you can test it yourself, open a command prompt window, pick any website and type:

tracert website.com

You will see the associated IP address, before all the hops are displayed.

As you can see, it does not protect you from Ddos attacks.
