Hacker Attack, Use Magic Router Instead of Hardware Router
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 8:00 amOne day, our web server was being attacked by the following ip.
152.104.192.122, 221.179.31.79.
Initially, we went to setup firewall block rule to deny hacker on hardware router. But after setting the
block ip rule and let the router to take effect, the hardware router (TP-LINK) was busy to death. The router was unable to handle over a thousand connections. We decided to direct plug the WAN cable on the web server network adapter. Start up Magic Router, set the listen port to 80 to block hacker ip.
Of course, this setting was already done on the web server, we no need to further config.
In conclusion, hardware router may not have the ability to reject hacker. Obviously, computer cpu speed, memory are much stronger than hardware router.
