Will this have any effect or save my forum? I hate having my host banning all the IP's and I soon find out half my members were infected with botnets. This has all been fixed but, still I'm bracing for another DDoS attack soon.

On a scale of about 1-10

If I got DDoSed by about 100 zombies, would my forum still load with this hack?
Normally if I get attacked by 100 zombies I do lose connection to the server -

Thanks man I've been looking for a good firewall for preventing DDoS. I'm sad hostgator doesn't offer ddos hardware protection.

On the situation of 100+ bots , the firewall could reduce the attack 20-80% theoretically, depend on what technique it uses and what type of flooding it is, xFlash or IMCP flooding etc...

As the matter of fact, you should also deny these ips or the the ones cause the most requests during the flood occurrence , then remove the list after it has gone.

It still has two layer of protections even if user-agent is fake. You can give it a try

I'm developing a newer version based on a new bounce back technique, still waiting for feedback from my professors though.
