OVH DDOS Issues?
Hi,
Having this strange issue with all of my OVH servers in EU (RBX). Ping is possible, but no ssh or http connections, they get refused.
On twitter there was some talk about their anti DDOS service was crashing. Any one experiencing the same problems or knows more?Last edited by WWS2010; 10-08-2013 at 03:55 PM.

Was just about to post a topic about them, our BHS Canadian servers are suffering huge packet loss and their status page is vague as hell : http://status.ovh.co.uk/?do=details&id=5559

had exactly the same issue, the firewall was the issue.

strange enough the server and service was accessible from outside of EU.

Strange thing is, there is nothing about the EU network on the status page.

Turned out their Anti-DDOS solution took down some parts of the network, filtering all traffic except ping out 'by mistake'
We had a problem in the rules that define the network firewall.
All traffic has been filtered by mistake.
We removed the rules until they find the origin of the problem.
First problem i had with them in about 2 years by the way.

I kinda saw that coming. Since OVH started to offer DDoS protection I saw even new anti DDoS providers popping up who were using OVH servers for DDoS protection. Even though their capacity for filtering isn't that bad, I'm certain that this service will fail sooner or later, as too many people which are under DDoS who want to save a few bucks are migrating to OVH, until they're unable to filter all those attacks, as they don't charge for the protection. I mean they even stopped selling servers on their homepage for a while because everyone was ditching their old servers and took on of the $4 ones. Free DDoS protection and servers for a risible pricing at the same time, what kind of future does that have?

Selling thousands of cheap boxes most of which are used for DDoS attracting gaming servers. Now people are having DDoS problems. Shocking development. Never saw that coming.

Their website appears to be down at the moment (what a surprise), that's why I'm linking this thread.

A quick look on hack forums and you'll find 20+ providers doing that. (although considering the forum it's not surprising) You can probably find 1 or 2 on wht also.

OVH DDOS Issues?
I'm not sure how OVH can grow anymore. I am actually curious to see what moves they make next.

The OVH Anti-DDoS protection seems was a big mistake from there side and had an opposite effect.

I'm sure the OVH Anti-DDoS service was in theory an excellent Idea, for a small price increase everyone got protection
Unfortunately in practice and with OVH's current business model its not going to be long before it fails and when it does fail its going to fail big time

I consider it fail long before they ever introduced ddos protection.
If you had to deal with their super-extremelyfast-hyperspeed support, you'd know what I am talking about.
