Does I2P network has some kind of DDOS protection ?

Post by AntibodyMama »

I have a simple eepsite that i made running on my device, it's running on the built in i2p web server.

I was worried about my website and computer getting flooded by a ddos attack.

Does i2p network offer some kind of protection against a ddos attack ?
Like the routers seeing other routers sending abusive traffic and blocking them, cutting the abusive routers off the network.

In the advanced options of your I2P web server, you can manage the connection limit, bandwidth for this service, concurrent connections, and more.
The default options are restrictive, but adequate for a small site.
Try to make something work without understanding it

Thanks for replying

Yea i am aware of this.

I wanted to know if the network itself has some kind of protection against spamming and DDOS, like pushing abusers away from the network by detecting and banning them. If every single router is configured by default to ban DDOSers, the whole network will cut them out.

Take a look at 127.0.0.1:7657/peers?tx=banned
Yes, there are measures to protect your node. Not perfect, but they exist
