I used weloveservers' vps node and put a bitcoind on it. The vps has went down a couple of times, weloveservers support mentioned that it is getting ddos'ed. Did anyone experience similar issue?
I doubt people would ddos a bitcoin node, seeing there are tons of them, and there's little to gain from ddosing a single node. what probably happened was that your VPS provider was overselling its servers, and are using ddos as an excuse.
i sometimes get >100 connections at a time on one of these servers. could that many simultaneous connections look like a ddos itself to an admin?
