[BL3ND]

List of attacked Teamspeak 3 servers:

Please other Teamspeak 3 server write here too if you were attacked.

I have two questions:
1. How to set server query Guest so that services as gametracker could work and people can't use it for spam and etc.
2. How to protect Teamspeak 3 or whole linux vps against ddos.

1) In persmission system you can allow/block IP with whitelist/blacklist. You can also restrict guest access to get only some data and nothing else.

2) This part is not assumed by TeamSpeak support, the best way to protect yourself is to properly configure your machine, and contact your hoster to see the solutions they propose to this problem.

Some hosters, such as OVH for example, use a system of mitigation prior to their infrastructure to contain part of the attack.
