Thanks for your attention!
You are confusing layer 7 and layer 3-4 attacks. A ddos attack doesn’t mean always using up network bandwidth. If layer 7 DDoS attack happens your CPU, RAM, IO… will be working at full capacity, webserver (including nginx or whatever web server you recommend), php server, mysql… will crashes quickly. This tool can help mitigate that by refusing to serve “hostile connections”.
If the DDOS attack is at layer 3-4, it will quickly fill up the network card, and if your network is really taking up all the bandwidth, there is no software installed on the server that can help the server increase bandwidth. Are you putting me in a position to prove that installing vDDoS will increase bandwidth? Remember that an attack will include multiple “attack patterns” from layer 3-4 to layer 7, vDDoS can reduce bandwidth usage, because its challenge page is only a few KB compared to the resource. resources actually contained in the site if the site does not have a protective filter.
Let’s admit, if one just installs Hestacp and hosts a few websites on it, if he gets a DDoS attack his website will surely die. I did not find any topic about anti-DDoS for your control panel. (aapanel has nginx waf - one has to pay to use it however)
Layer 3-4 attacks have become obsolete since the advent of cloudflare, incapsula, sucuri… it’s almost impossible to bring down a website that uses cloudflare (Who would try to take down a website lies behind cloudflare by sending layer 3-4 packets hitting the IP of the cloudflare proxy? to flood cloudflare’s bandwidth?) modern attacks only use layer 7 ddos in the hope of sending packets sophisticated and cunning to exhaust the CPU, RAM… of the target. So even though cloudflare has a layer 3-4 system with almost infinite bandwidth, they still have to make 2 layer 7 filters, javascript check 5s and hcaptcha.
I’ve gone through several cases where layer 7 attackers actually bypassed cloudflare javascript check and even cloudflare hcaptcha… what would you do then? contact your ISP or network provider to increase your bandwidth?
(sorry for the clumsy english style)
