well, mad connection loss issues, and they made the server lag and crash due to watchdog error

Please check your server log for errors from your plugins.
If you need further help understanding the errors, please send us the whole log file. Where can I find the server log? Logs are stored in <server_directory>/logs/. Search for a file explorer in your server's management interface and navigate to that directory. Once you've opened that up, search for the latest.log file. Some providers have a separate page for logs and may hide the "logs" folder. On Aternos: • Go to https://aternos.org/log/. On Minehut and server.pro: • Go to the "files" tab in the left menu. • Navigate to the root directory of your server. • From there navigate to /logs/latest.log. What should I do with the log? • First of all, read it! I mean, that's what you do all the time when you run a server, isn't it? Try to locate any errors that have anything to do with the issue you are facing. • If you got the latest.log file or created a .txt file with the necessary errors you can upload these directly to the channel, but we prefer if you upload them to https://mclo.gs/. • If you have trouble downloading the log file, copy/paste the text to a paste service (like mclogs). Copy the link that it gives you and send it to us. (Don't worry, McLogs hides your users' IPs.)

nothing seen before the crash has been unusual for the server where might i find info on setting up tcpshield for oracle free tier?
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk•2y ago
it only matters if u get a new ip but just follow the normal tcpshield setup guide
Shadow
ShadowOP•2y ago
why is that? ohhh wait
Philipp

doesnt oracle have firewall option in the web gui does that filter on their edge the you could even reuse the old ip if you firewall it correct
Shadow
ShadowOP•2y ago
it just stops them from seeing the ip idk that sounds like a bandaid that could accidentally fall off eventually
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk•2y ago
no thats not all it does it uses a protected cname of theirs that has antiddos so if they ddos it its pointless but less normal players through
Shadow
ShadowOP•2y ago
i had a mini stroke but why would this not protect the original ip?
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk•2y ago
philip go take a nap and pet noobbot because its not one of theirs the ddosers already have ur ip so they can just attack it
Shadow
ShadowOP•2y ago
if i get a new ip, its also not tcpshield's its just another oracle ip only difference is they would have a hard time guessing it
ProGamingDk
ProGamingDk•2y ago
