how to stop a DDOS attack?

Switch to better, more secure software like Discord. It's free and it doesn't leak your IP address. Oh course, none of this matters if your ISP won't change your IP.

ya ;( im pretty much just completely fucked arent i

Take a pcap/TCP Dump to find the source and block all requests via your firewall. This may need to be done at the router level.

 

Most "stress testers" will often just use the same port repeatedly, so dropping all connections to that should suffice.

how do i do that?

It sounds like it. If you stop talking with those "friends" then they'll get bored and stop harassing you eventually though.

I would also suggest to leave teamspeak and use discord instead. 

It's as good as teamspeak but u have a normal chat and screen sharing too.

You can change you IP, and get a VPN which is a "Virtual private network." This 'masks' your ip address.

I wish this would work, but it won't unless the "stresser" being used is programmed by a moron (which it very well could be) who didn't take into account that their attack might actually work.

i know about vpns but it slows my internet conntection by a lot, is there a way to just put a vpn on teamspeak?

Either that or the fact that the user is a moron and selected a single port. This paired with the possibility that the actual "stresser" uses legitimate IP addresses (which any legitimate business should be doing) then it should be easy to prevent.

It may be better to 1, banhammer, 2, call police, 3 find a way to vpn only on teamspeak. 

There should be a way to mask your IP for certain programs.

It depends on your router/set-up. Google "How to packet capture on my router" or something to that effect.

Also there should be programs that block excessive pings from the same IP. You may be able to block connection from the DDOS website.

You would need to block the traffic upstream, I don't know what kind of network connection the OP has but even dropping the packets at the router will saturate his uplink. If the kid harassing him sees that he's still online he's just going to keep kicking off the attack even if the stresser website says it's offline.

It will still saturate his uplink. No firewall or software on his network will stop the attack or minimize its effect if the attacker still knows he's online.

Pulling aside everything else, if you're genuine friends, would you think he'd want to harm you?

I don't know, but in this rant video he mentions it.

He notes that if it's multiple computers "on a bot network" it won't appear abnormal, however when there's soooo many pinging it will overload networks. Since you may not be expecting a lot of pings, you may be better off blocking most things pinging you when you don't expect anything.

I don't think so, but it'd be kinda annoying. 

It's just a pointless jab to irritate someone.

You can't. No such silver bullet exists.

Just host your TS server on a dedicated server outside of your actual home network and they will take care of the ddos attack for you

He is, apparently TeamSpeak is leaking his IP somehow.

Ah... then yeah... use Discord or get a VPN, as has been mentioned.

You can right click on users and show their IPs with default TS Security settings.

Really? I can see why Discord was able to take over so easily now.

Don't get me wrong, TS is great. You can get incredibly in-depth with security settings, and you can make the voice quality better than Discord by a noticeable margin. Discord took over because it's literally no work and has a web client.

 

Edit: And because it has a fantastic mobile client, while TS' is shit.
