Possible DoS from my server?
This discussion has been closed.

I had the same problem while downloading files using multiple connections on Crissic (aria2).
I explained it to them, but there was no reply to the ticket. I was doing nothing else at that VPS and I never received another warning again, so that must have been the cause.
Guess NodeWatch sees over X connections to the same destination in your container and considers it a DoS?
I use nodewach in our nodes too but i want to tell you i am thinking to remove this shit because is not verry realistic. I thinck if you talk with your provider the issue can be resolved. Good luck
You want to contact your lawyer? Let's hope those torrents were legal then....
Just Linux ISOs
Yes they're according to laws in my country and the country where the server is hosted.
A bunch of them!
That's it, I was doing the same. But it's weird that NodeWatch says it's a "Possible DoS".
Yeah, I kinda told them that.
Sounds like you've hit the set limit on NodeWatch PPS to trigger what looks to be a DoS attack when it isn't
If you want to download 30 torrents at once maybe you better go back to your DS at redstation.
I wish I could, but I've stopped using torrent, the issue is now HTTP/FTP connections.
what you are doing is probably more resource intensive than what the provider wants a customer to be doing in a shared environment at the price you are probably paying.
It seems they never used NodeWatch or something similar, I'll see what they can do and what info. they can give me, appreciate everyone's help!
If they claim you were DoS'ing care to tell you the bandwidth, pps, type of attack ?
Or they decided to just accuse you, and left you defending yourself against a few lines of log?
Basically I'm sitting on the corner with a few lines of code, but I've got my VPS back!
I think the 'problem' here is that, they've never used NodeWatch (I guess they've added it to test) and they got scared just like I did.
So much for the professionalism of your provider...
next up.. terminated for IO abuse !
Name the provider.
nodewatch says it's DoS, so it must be
nodewatch is good, but needs to be checked. a good VPS will be able to saturate a Gb connection, which looks just like DoS. the nodewatch logs show you what is being sent/received. they just need to learn how to read them
whitelist incoming conntrack, so the VM doesn't get suspended. then monitor the alert emails
What's with those people today...
@Kytro don't open public forum thread if you're not prepared to keep it, please.
