I wonder how pool operators are protecting their statums addresses from DDOS attacks
I cannot find an answer on google about protecting stratum addresses from DDOS
What am I missing ? I mean they can't just manualy ban the IPs addresses which are slowing down the pool. I imagine it could give a lot of work to pool OPs no ?
Sorry for the newbie question, but as I know that some pool operator are present here, I hope that I will find a proper answer

Also, it's not a manual ban it's automatic, even going back a decade to NOMP https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal#attack-mitigation it had automatic banning of IPs that were causing problems. It can also be a combination using something like cloudflare as discussed above to take care of the 1st layer of attacks then something internally to filter out the rest.
