How can i prevent booters like vbooter or xyz booter ddos my home internet?

[ExtendLord]

I have a poor router and i told my friend to try to ddos my router with a booter and my internet was crashed, even when i put high protection it didnt help, my router is hotbox, i dont think that this router have a good firewall.
Dont say that ddos protection is impossible, its 100% possible, there are servers with ddos protection so dont say that its impossible.
If i will buy highend routers of tp link, linksys or another company that makes good routers and set a ddos protection it will help?
if not, my isp can protect me against ddos?
please help me, i dont want to be exposed to ddoses

Well first if your friend was able to DDOS, then your ISP couldn't do anything now could they.
And no, no server has 100% DDOS.

I have been online since before the internet started and have never been DDOS'd so you are being paranoid over nothing. Unless you're being a complete horrible person when you online game, and then you get what you get.

Honestly, it doesn't matter what your router's got on it. Your home internet connection likely doesn't have much bandwidth available (e.g. 50Mb/s), so all you've got to do is saturate that and you won't be able to use your connection (the packets have to get to your router before they can be dropped, and by then, they've used your bandwidth).

I just want protection, i want anti ddos protection vs booters, can a router ant ddos?

there is no firewall that can just block the ip that doing that? and before it will use bandwidth, modem cant do that or the isp?

A DDOS can use 100,000,000 IP's, so no, that can't be blocked.

So only if i will have super fast internet like 100gb/s i will able to anti ddos?

DDOS protection is done at ISP level. Once the packets reach your router, they have consumed your bandwidth, even if it is 100gb/s (gigabits-per-seconds).

There is nothing you can do at router level against DDOS. It is your ISP who should take care of that.

No.

Think of it this way:
The router is the doorbell on your house.
Someone does not like you, so he sends 100,000 people to line up at your front door.
They each get one or two rings, and then move away.
In those 100,000, there are 3 actual people you want to talk to.
Those 3 have to wait in line with everyone else.
It does not matter how strong your front door is (router, firewall, whatever), that line of 100,000 is there, blocking things up.

There are only 2 way to 'prevent' this.
1. Is to prevent them from coming into your neighborhood. That is the job of the ISP.
2. Is to build a new front door (new IP address). This is what a company will do. Fail over to a whole different address and maybe server, leaving that 100,000 to knock on the wrong door.

You forgot 3.

Don't be an idiot online. People do not DDOS for no reason. You will never randomly get DDOS'd. You can and will get DDOS'd for hacking a game, acting like a idiot, calling people names, being a racist and lots of other things some online people don't like.

That too...

DDOS is a relatively recent issue and network stacks haven't gotten designed to accommodate these issues yet. It comes down to this. Example, PFSense can handle a DDOS attack as long as it all comes from the same IP address by limiting the number of new connections. But if you use the exact same attack from many difference IP addresses, the firewall crumbles because it no longer limits the number of new connections being created and gets stuck in a worst case algorithmic complexity.

All they need to do is stop accepting new connections and let the existing continue, but they don't. Instead the block all network traffic and scan all current network states to see if one can be dropped, none can. The scan takes a long time compared to the time it takes to process a single packet. In the time all of the states are scanned, the firewall could have processed hundreds of thousands of packets for existing states. Instead, no packets get processed.

I just use PFSense as an example. Pretty much all firewalls do the same thing.
