Can I still connect to my server if I'm being DDOS'd?

    Let's say someone is DDOS-ing my server. I'd assume I wouldn't be able to connect to it with an SSH client to run commands, but just asking for confirmation.

    Depends...

    That's like saying, there is snow on the road, I assume that I can't drive on the road. Well, that would depend on how much snow, what kind of tires you have, how your suspension is setup, what's the clearance of your vehicle, if your vehicle has 4 wheel drive or not, and if you have a truck, car, tank, military vehicle, etc.

    You should install QoS on all your servers · firehol/netdata Wiki · GitHub

    Hi @eva2000 Did you have a look at Qoo, SYNPROXY or vDDoS? Do you think it is fully compatible with CMM? With my very limited knowledge, I think it will build a better wall against DDOS for CMM together with CSF? Look forward to your advice. Thanks.

    Unfortunatley, nope haven't had any further look due to time constraints.
