Hello!
I recently helped a friend with his GTA SAMP server since it got DDoSed over and over again. It's a shame so I
made sure to get him the right protection. He tried software etc but nothing was working. However,
I have used something called Reverse Proxy for a private server I was hosting for another game.
We tried it on his SAMP server, a UDP Reverse Proxy for port 7777. It's working great.
Getting a UDP Reverse Proxy doesn't take longer than 3 minutes, so you can basically make your server 100% safe
using this in only 3 minutes.
If interesting, his server hasn't gone offline ever since he fixed this.
I will use the website
Menialhost.com trough this tutorial, since it's the only provider that offers this for free.
It should not exceed the rules here since the service is for free, and this doesn't force anyone to pay
or provide personal information.
Let's get into it!
Step one. Order a UDP Reverse Proxy
https://menialhost.com/service-page.php, fill in your IP and Port for your SAMP server
Step two. Go to your service-page and take the UDP Reverse Proxy IP. In this case "protection.menialhost.com:31046".
You can now connect to your SAMP server using that IP, just make sure to hide your original IP.
The silly "hackers" will now try to DDoS the Proxy IP which is almost impossible to take offline.
No configuration SHOULD be needed, it wasn't needed for my friend atleast.
This is a link to the service page, select the option "UDP Reverse Proxy".

Any questions?
