EDIT: The incident ip range 167.114.102.0/24 is very close to the ltcgear.com ip address 167.114.102.178 but I'm not very versed in ip ranges etc so I don't know how close physically this would be.
this is not how it will help.
looks like - hacker buying server where Chris buy it. - and in this way avoids external protection and for ddos is the best way i think. Maybe will better place home server and build protection manually
