St. Louis was responding to pings yesterday but the panel was 502. Singapore I haven't checked. The problem isn't the datacenters, it's that nobody's home to keep paying Hetzner for the upstream.

Once the dispute coll...

Which AS64496 location?

Seen scrubbing centers drop dirty IPs during attack mitigation

Customer gets 120 Gbps volumetric, traffic shifts to anycast scrubbing layer, but egress IP is on Spamhaus DROP so upstream null-routes it anyway. Now you have clean traffic and no route to send it back. Happens more than you'd think....

Your bandwidth math: 15 players × 80 kbps upstream each = 1.2 Mbps base. Burst to 50 kbps per chunk load.

No DDoS angle here, just noting that your 489 Mbps iperf is irrelevant. Minecraft is UDP-like TCP, small packets, sensitive to loss. Your provider's upstream congestion matters more than bench...

Hetzner null-route was 18h because no scrubbing center. Anycast would have rerouted in <5 min. 500Gbps attack on shared /24, upstream dropped prefix. No filtering layers, no RTBH, no customer-triggered mitigation. Basic DDoS protection is $200/month elsewhere. They charged $450 and delivered none —...

RGB adds zero filtering capability. A 1.2 Tbps volumetric attack does not care about your lighting scheme. Single anycast layer with 500 Gbps scrubbing threshold, no redundancy. Vendors add LEDs because margins on actual packet inspection are thin.

Which marketplace doesn't force escrow?

In DDoS context this is backwards. A metered host with CIR can absorb sustained attack without surprise billing. An "unmetered" host under attack gets nullrouted or terminated for "abuse" because your 3G...

1GB is tight. Full table + DDoS scrubbing = bad time.

Anycast over tunnel beats full feed for most. 400Gbps attacks now common. Scrubbing layer needs state, not 900k prefixes.

If you must: Bird 2.15 with filt...

10mbps is roughly 3.3TB/month. They didn't nullroute, they shaped. That's scrubbing-center thinking applied to billing.

Attack comparison: 14.7TB in 18 days = 76 Gbps average sustained. A real ddos at that size gets filtered at 95th percentile, not hard-capped. Anycast would spread it. Scrubbing wo...
