Ddos issues for gamer
Hi guys have a big problem. My son plays competitive gaming in Destiny and someone has identified his IP address as The Destiny servers are not dedicated. This person is now sending Ddos attacks regularly ruining his gameplay and taking the rest of the family's internet out as well. It is dos attacks as he posts he's going to do it sometimes. I've called VM to see what they can do and you can guess the rest. What my son needs is a new external IP and a VPN. How can I change the IP. If I put my Superhub 2 into modern mode and buy another router will my IP change. I'm amazed someone can just use our IP to disrupt our household to this level.

Switching to modem mode, connecting, then switching back again should get you a new IP without buying a new router.
If you're on a shub 2 you could also ask for a shub 3 which would also solve it. |

...but this is NOT Virgin Media’s fault.
...and resolving it for you will likely cause a problem for the Virgin Media customer who inherits the IP address and DDOS attack. |

As others have said VPN will solve it anyway. Otherwise Modem mode gets you a new IP, I don't think switching straight back will get you router mode with a new IP though as the DHCP lease will still be in play. |

So the scenario is if I can obtain a family's IP address I can vindictively take them down at my leisure as often and for as long as I like. This seriously needs looking at. And if all the people who are having my problem shead the original IP to prevent the attack there are going to be an awful lot of vulnerable reassigned IP addresses. ---------- Post added at 11:59 ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 ---------- Can anyone recommend a decent router for around £160 that works with Superhub 2 in Modem mode? I've seen some routers have built in VPN is that as good as paying monthly for one? |

Re: Ddos issues for gamer
Found out from my son a lot of his friends have true dynamic IP's which change daily. Why can't VM do this?

What are the benefits of static?

Re: Ddos issues for gamer
Some devices like a static IP to work better. Like security stuff.
I am setting all my network devices where I can to Static as I can sort them out to "Peoples kit, Echos, Smart switches, etc". I try and do this via the device, but the TiVo's are proving difficult. |

Guys when setting up my asus router with SH2 in modem mode do I just let it auto detect everything once they are connected. Only looking at the manual for Internet connection in the GUI for auto set up it has
Host name (optional) and MAC address (optional). Do I just skip this and press next? |
