Q: IS CS 1.6 compatiable with reverse proxy based DDOS protection

my CS 1.6 gameservers are getting DDOS-ed I have since then purchased a reverse proxy based DDOS protection which supports both TCP and UDP ports. But have not been able to setup the game properly. The game server is alive in Game tracker http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/95.141.42.169:27015...

Blem

morning

spyder

@Blem hi

Blem

I should play some Payday 2 @spyder

spyder

@Blem how ya doin?

Blem

good, been at work for 20min, im ready to go home

spyder

08:17

@Blem O_o

I want this kind of job :D

Blem

guess that will change once i finish the first cup of coffee

@spyder being ready to go home and being able to go home while keeping my job is two different things

I guess i need to update my Moderator nomination post with some useful info

spyder

@Blem I prefer "Firestarter" or "Rats" on "overkill"/"pro job". But it is fun only with friends in private game, not with random players on publics

kalina

@spyder I prefer the meatier jobs in a private game, you can get away with rats pro overkill in a public provided you're not with kids

also, morning

spyder

@kalina hi

Blem

I have installed the game, entered the first mission not knowing wtf to do, stole some crap and the police came, big shoot out and i quit because the damn car wouldnt drive away with me, I clearly missed something i needed to do.

kalina

08:24

@Blem you should join up with us the next time we play

boost you through your first 30-40 levels, np

when I say boost, the first 30-40 levels can be accomplished in a couple of jobs on pro/overkill

Blem

@kalina sounds good, i found out i am pretty good at killing cops, but I think I would find it more fun/challenging to do some thing stealth

spyder

@Blem "Rats" is good for XP, "Firestarter" for money. You can complete "Rats" very fast if you blow up meth lab

kalina

we have a preference to completing things stealth, because on overkill certain special cops are just annoying

like bulldozers spawning in backs of 4, escorted by shields, spawning in a pack of 4

Framing Frame is the best stealth level

the game needs more jobs adding though

that's really where it falls down

Arperum

Morning!

spyder

@kalina not a problem for 80 levels :)

@Arperum hi

Blem

08:28

is the DLC good for the game?

kalina

@spyder nah they can still catch you out

Blem

@Arperum mornings

kalina

@Blem not really, no

spyder

@Blem new guns. And able to use hand grenades

Blem

@spyder hmmm, hand grenades for stealth missions... sounds like a plan!

kalina

08:29

skittles milkshake for breakfast

nom

spyder

@kalina pffff... I have a SG-552 with all attachments. And ability to convert enemies

kalina

What I really want is to hang out where I hung out with my friends in college, but have all my older relatives there too.

@spyder you can't convert specials

Blem

@kalina I decided to go with 60min of snoozing the alarm for breakfast, not sure if that was a wise choice now

kalina

the key to dealing with the cops is basically "don't get overwhelmed"

the game has a horrible habit of just throwing the entire police force at you the moment you start losing ground

spyder

@kalina yep. But bulldozer is still vulnerable for focused fire of 2-3 AKs or SiGs

kalina

08:31

@spyder that involves all of you being close together and coordinated/not always occupied

you can easily take a bulldozer down with the p90, solo

just by getting in its face and unloading a clip into his visor

but you can't do that if you're pinned down by 4 of them

something is broken

spyder

@kalina yep, we use Teamspeak. Coordinated teamwork is a key in this game

kalina

an EVE online answer got more than 10 upvotes

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina wait, there are more than 10 people that play EVE online?

Also, morning bridge

kalina

@KevinvanderVelden 10 people each with a hundred accounts, yes

Kevin van der Velden

Why is a message containing just "The anus." starred?... Twice?

kalina

Kevin van der Velden

@Wandang it's birthday music! It's always embarrassing

FEichinger

kalina

@KevinvanderVelden There's a comment in here, somewhere

@FEichinger They've tested it four times so far

FEichinger

@kalina I'm not sure if I should be intrigued or horrified by the prospect of you gaining another pair of hands ...

kalina

@KevinvanderVelden normally in instances where I need three hands, I'd just use my mouth

Wandang

@kalina still better then listening to justin bieber for 13 times

Ved

@Wandang LOL

kalina

08:51

@Wandang anything is better than listening to justin bieber

Kevin van der Velden

@kalina ... I'm trying to come up with counter examples but failing

kalina

@KevinvanderVelden the best I could come up with is miley cyrus, but I think they're equal

Kevin van der Velden

I don't even know why I wanted to prove you wrong on that one, I guess it's just instinct to try to prove you wrong

Ved

justin bieber has his (?) own washrooms created.

FEichinger

@KevinvanderVelden I, too, would rather die a slow and painful death by flesh-eating bacteria than listen to Justin Bieber.

Ved

@kalina and after 19 ?

kalina

08:57

@Ved less than 5 times a year

Ved

@kalina I see.

FEichinger

@Ved Don't worry, she had other terrible habits instead.

kalina

my other habits weren't terrible

they were the most awesomest things ever

I mean, no, you should never do those things

Ved

@FEichinger Like ?

FEichinger

@kalina See, this is where those two statements stop being mutually exclusive.

Ved

08:59

Blem

@kalina IT is just a fad, it will be gone soon

kalina

@Ved lots of illicit narcotics

@Ved I haven't heard of Omegle, that's the difference

Ved

@kalina Isn't is illegal or banned by government ?

kalina

@Ved that's what illicit means, yes

Kevin van der Velden

@Ved it that not the definition of illicit?

Ved

09:00

@kalina Well, its stranger chat, where you don't know, to whom you are talking

FEichinger

But here, you clearly know who you're talking to.

kalina

@Ved well, this is less stranger

Kevin van der Velden

@Ved no, we're just plenty strange

@KevinvanderVelden Oh, sure, the Bridge is always plenty strange.

Yeh, I can't blame this one on lag, can I now?

Blem

@KevinvanderVelden sadly no, it tells you to add the booze and press a button to continue

so i ended up with just a very strong coffee

5pike

The thing costs 5.900,00 €
