Headshot

Heard that providers are expecting big DDOS attacks at the weekend

It seems all regional ISP's are getting DDOS attacked over the last week.

Same here just now.

They've been dropping a lot since early this morning. Completely gone now. Their website's down now too, though they haven't announced an outage yet (do the work Sundays?)

Yup, another DDoS attack. Its on their Twitter feed now.

Airwire: MartinL

Yes, we are currently being DDoS'd and this is primarily our DNS servers that are the target.

We are currently modifying our authentication profiles for our customers with new DNS servers, but those will only kick in, when the session gets restarted.

Alternatively, Google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) or CloudFlare DNS (1.1.1.1) can be used and most of the Internet should be accessible then.

There are certain networks, like Microsoft, that we had to block off though, as some of the attacks come out of their Cloud.

Not only regional providers. Over 20 irish networks have been attacked in the last 10 days. 2 or 3 every day. One big irish hosting provider is also under attack today.

harmless

I've used CloudFlare for DNS since I switched to Airwire almost 2 years ago. 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

What should I change my DNS to? I currently have no service?

Airwire: MartinL

Service is up, if you use those. Even our DNS servers should work now.

There are though a lot of international destinations, that you can't reach because of these DDoS attacks.

They are also not limited to our network. At least 2 networks in Ireland are being attacked today and I've also heard from a few elsewhere in Europe.

You should be able to get to places like Google, Facebook, etc. Basically everything that is on INEX apart from Microsoft, which we had to block off, because the attacks also come out of their cloud service.

Still down for me

There is some very limited service. I can connect to some apps and websites but it's not usable.

Mostly down here (Laois), although some sites loading very slowly.

Monasterevin here so close enough.

Still nothing here in d24. I've tried all dns's recommended but still nothing atm.

Any update when this is fully fixed my broadband like mobile some websites won't work. Netflix and amazon prime won't work these DDos attack are happen to much.

This seems to be on the increase. I presume there’s no defence except to react when it happens?

alan4cult

Unfortunately seems to be on the increase everywhere. No real options except proxying off to Cloudfare who can handle the load better.

If these DDos attacks keep on happening there gona lose customers.There doing there best but having a half functioning internet is not good.

Agreed but I really think cloud based options are the only viable option as they can scale to handle the load.

As opposed to physical servers? Can you elaborate on that please, as I’m no expert.

I like the Airwire setup, but is there an ISP who wouldn’t be affected in this way?

rob808

It clear to me Airwire can't handle DDos attack well.Im hoping this sorted tomorrow.
