Allow External IP to Ping my Digital Ocean Server IP.

Posted on December 23, 2014

Hello,

I was receiving around 1500 Pings / Second from my another server IP to digital ocean IP & you guys have thought of it as DDOS which was not actually the case.

I wan to know if I ned to implement firewall using following method :

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-config-server-firewall-csf-on-ubuntu

I did not have firewall earlier. Now, it has been understood if answer of above is in a YES. In this, if I set-up max number of pings from one or many external IPs to Digital Ocean ( My Server ) , Will it be considered as DDOS or not ?

Thanks, Mayank
