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).

Keywords
