I am trying to change my port for example to something else other than :80. For example :3216 I know how to do this however... after i change it my site turns into http://mysite.com:3216 basically telling my port again to the Ddos
er is there a way to remove it so they cannot see it. I've search everywere please help.
I want it to be http://mysite.com/ but listening on port 3216 not default port 80 |

| This is not possible since the Browser needs to know the Port of the Server... |

Listenling on a different port than 80 is a bad idea. As Virsacer told the browser wouldn't be able to connect to your side.
The best way against ddos is a good firewall before apache that blocks an IP is there are to many requests in time x. Ideal is a hardware firewall before the server apache is running on that the Dos requests don't reach apache at all. MySQL shouldn't be reachable over the internet. Close that port in your firewall. Allow only connections form localhost.
Analyse your log files and watch for specific IP andresses you can ban in your firewall. |
