Problem with DDOS OVH and Memchached
Added by Diego Fabiano over 4 years ago
Hi ! Im new in openproject, and with a fresh installation, ovh is blocking the ip of vps (antihack measure) , because says that we are making DDOS ??
I notice that always is in 11211 port, is it memcached right ?
Im not an expert, so 2 questions:
- as we are an small team (10 people) how can i disable memcached, i think we dont need it
- can i implement an iptables or similar rule to disable this port ? how to do it ?
The IP address MYIPHERE had to be blocked by our services due to
the various alerts received.
You can find the logs brought up by our system which lead to this alert.

Dealing with DDoS issues can be quite challenging, especially with OVH's strict security measures. Memcached can sometimes be exploited for DDoS attacks, and it's good that you're looking into addressing this.
To disable Memcached, you can usually do it via the configuration files on your server. Locate the Memcached configuration file, which is often named memcached.conf or memcached.conf.php, and set the service to not run or comment out the relevant lines. Keep in mind that this process might vary depending on your server setup.
