how a Thanks can backfire rapidly at LET

Hello,

So everyone says "I'm going to setup a GRE tunnel for protection", BuyVM has a guide on how to setup a GRE tunnel with their filtered IP option to get a decent DDoS protection.

I had a chat with SeFlow that said a GRE tunnel just forwards the attack, and dosen't protect at all.

So how is it?

Thanks!

    A GRE tunnel is just a method for forwarding traffic, in and of itself it does not block or protect. That's up to something ahead of the tunnel (in the case of BuyVM this is Voxility).

    Hi,
    in the chat i not said that this solution doesn't protect you BUT, if you will have:

    buyvm --- gre tunnel --- Our unprotected server

    You will spend 6$ + server price.

    this configuration make no sense when you can buy native 4,2tbps DDoS protected server at only 9€ + server price

    With gre tunnel you will risk:

    • If attacker find remote server ip it will bypass protection and your server will be blocked
    • We identify attacks within 5 seconds on unprotected servers, this mean if voxility filters not detect it in time or protection fails your server will be blocked for 4 hours
    • You will have latency increase
    • You will add a point of failure in your enviroment

    Personally i not think this justify 3,5€ save

    Hey.

    You price is 9€ for 100Gbps on Sensor.
    Don't mix the prices or give us more details.

    And did you just threaten your possible customer with 'it will be blocked for 4hours?' Nice one.

    Oh. And 6$ to 8$ is 2$, not 3. But... yeah.
    Nice try.

    Oh SSDBlaze, nice seeing you around. You fucked me over hard last time! (they didn't know how to activate my package in WHMCS and didn't know how to config the cPanel module, it was just like 1-2 dollars but still..)
