Could it be that some/much of the world is not affected by the DDOS??? (check twitch). Is the strategy to mitigate the DDOS to intercept and cleanse traffic from certain networks? i.e. north America??
I really want to use VPN to get around this. would the client know that using VPN from my one computer is NOT account sharing? I don’t want to get banned by playing with VPNs and trying out different VPN pipes.
*** Also, an hourly status update would go a long way. Just one tweet per hour about how the remediation is going would prevent tons of griping from users. maybe an explanation about which geographical areas are affected?
I assumed that if they are using cloudfront to mitigate the attack and the bot network was mainly in north america, they would be only filtering/cleansing packets from NA and therefore a VPN pipe, such as tunnelbear, that has options to have the endpoint in europe might get around this.
there were claims that a vpn fixed the issue for some people - like the guy who vpn’d to iceland. these may have been premature claims.
no, i am no expert on ddos attacks at all. i was just so curious to see many twitch streamers unaffected.
Still can’t play at all from the US, but switching to a VPN with an endpoint in the UK fixes the problem for me completely. I’m not claiming to know why.
