Oh absolutely, I agree with the best practice! I just didn’t know the real world efficacy of dropping packets near the NIC to mitigate DDOS load. There is certainly a performance limit but where that limit exists has been nebulous for me.

I recall a certain amount of overhead in IPTables “allow only from” situations but I’m not sure whether it’s enough to make a DDOS any kind of viable on a server in this configuration.

Do you happen to know how effective the strategy is?

If you haven’t already, you could try resetting the app’s storage before trying again. It won’t prevent the bug for others but it could get it working for you!

This triggers geometry memories with right triangles.
