Setting up spam protection

Hi, I feel these problems as a server admin too.

Make sure that the default server group doesn’t allow to send text messages, so the spammer cannot share their server IP addresses.

In this case; your provider is not prepared for DDoS attacks. My suggestion is to switch to another primary server hosting provider, who does also fully support anti DDoS options. (e.g. OVH is very strong)

You (as a customer) cannot avoid these DDoS attacks, and also you can’t kick the attackers out, because you don’t know who’s attacking your server.

I had much experience with this in the past 8 months. Suddenly, you can report the IP addresses of course, but you cannot find out who’s basically the real attacker. Since the DOS attack is distributed, there are too many computers connected to your network & for sure… trying to hit your server down.

The DDoS attackers doesn’t give a single damn about an “criminal report”. And also, the probability that this will solve all your DDoS problems is very low. You trully need to protect your server, by an good hosting provider and a configured firewall… and don’t forget some applications like “Fail2Ban”, they could also be useful.


How I blocked the spammer on my servers? Well honestly, I need to say that even during all my actions, the server still isn’t 100% safe but some properties could help you…

  • Disable text messaging on default server groups
  • Disable channel text chat in general
  • Ban usernames like “Admin”, “A.D.M.I.N.”, “Owner” or “NEW SERVER…”
  • Don’t mess with DDoS attackers! They could be very dangerous.
  • (Pull yourself a bit back from these peoples)

Note: DDoS attackres have no respect from all the work which the server admin did, who made this server how it is! They just wanna destroy your work and that’s it, they don’t care about anything else.

And it could also be great when TeamSpeak will finally remove this awful IP2Location database.
See this: Please remove IP2Location from your GEO location Database

Hope I could help ya so far
