Abstract -
The article helps to find solutions to totally
slow network, websites loading was 10-20sec, slow
loading, server load is very high and there are many
clients who is doing problems. After connection made
to the server and checking statistics - server CPU will
remain all the time on 20-30%, memory was fine, all
services were up-and-running so where it went wrong?
There was so many connections from some IPs that
was like wow...after blocking them, server statistics is
back to normal again (probably some kind of DDOS
attack) At this point, since Plesk donot have
something like CSF on cPanel, being able to
understand that the system need something to block
this "Fake" IPs or at least the ones with a lot of
connections automatically, without my concern doing
it manually. Hence this paper helps inproviding the
knowledge installing successfully (DDOS Deflate and
APF (Advanced Policy Firewall).
