How can it handle a ddos attack? about ivfi-php HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello.

The Indexer does not serve the files at all, that's the job of whatever web server you are using. All the Indexer does is read directories, display information, links to the files and so on. Once you view an image, video or click on a file, the request is handled by the web server, not the script.

To protect yourself against DDOS attacks, you'll have to set up your web server (and possibly your actual server too) to handle that.

Hopefully that clears it up.

Yes, it does make sense now. Regarding the .exe, .txt, .xlsx file, what do you think I can do to make it ddos-proof to use it with indexer?

If you want to mitigate DDOS attacks, using something like Cloudflare is probably the easiest solution.

If you are using Nginx as your web server, you can use its rate limiting feature (see: https://www.nginx.com/blog/rate-limiting-nginx/). You can also limit the maximum download speed per connection using that method, if bandwidth usage is a worry. I'm sure something similar can be done with Apache too, but I don't use it myself.

I'll go ahead and close this one right now, seeing as I think you got the answer you were looking for. If you still have any questions, then don't hesitate to message me!
