a firewall for forum?

[yingzhou]

Please tell me if I can add a firewall for my forum because my site is attacked DDOS. :(

Thank you!

If you are really under a DDOS attack, then you can not stop it from the end application (vBulletin). Best is to contact your host to stop the attack on server, or even better on network level.

thanks for the answer. I hear there is a firewall for vBulletin to reduce the DDOS. My forum site is just 60MB, but 10 days cost 2.5GB of Bandwidth. :confused:

Then you are listening to a fairy tale.

It is impossible to block a real DDOS from an application.
