[QUOTE="Brahman, post: 908097, member: 11847"] I was getting bored really in home quarantine ( of 7 days, cause i travelled to a containment zone), nothing to do except watching netflix. Then just by coincidence,I Saw a video on youtube about DDOS attacks and mitigation strategies. I enable some syn attack and ddos preventing rules on my Mikrotik Hap Ac router and i got an itch to test my rules. I searched for DDOS simulated attack and found a website ([URL="http://www.shieldtest.com"]Shield Test - Free comprehensive security test[/URL]) which simulates ddos attack on your ip address. They provides some other tests too. Then while testing, on the second test (ddos test)it just stopped abruptly saying " the entire domain is getting blocked" and test terminated itself ( image 1). I thought it was my router blocking the test, but there was no logs registered in my router. Then i switched off nextdns doh and enabled google dns doh ( by adguard ). To my surprise the test went on without any hiccups ( image 2). So Nextdns was blocking ddos attack from this website. Try it for yourself just for fun. 1.With NEXTDNS.
