Full ip

Maybe DrauL can weigh in

Hi

...but I would imagine ISPs have DDoS mitigation far upstream, and probably something more sophisticated than just blackholing your block.

Only seen it once before, wasn't anything massive. Essentially (our) ISP is quite large and has the ability for large scale mitigations. Smaller ISP's IDK.

We probably wouldn't drop a block, cos that would cause more hassle than it's worth.

As far as the PC itself, unsolicited inbound connections should not be allowed through most ISP gateways where the firewall hasn't been tampered with

By default we block /some/ ports.


Port scans are a thing, you will get port scanned if you use the internet in anyway. Attacks happen, but not because someone just knows your full IP. The people that want to do it, might hit every IP in a block till they find one they want.

Leave you router firewalls up, use common sense.
Don't be idiots.
