Empty server overloading
I have a small private server, it's online-mode and whitelisted for two people.
This
ServerOverflow1 attempted to join but couldn't and still got the server lagging apparently, no idea how or why.
Any idea why/how this is happening? And how fix/prevent it?
First time I see this user, not sure if it's a server scanner or part of a ddos.

I apparently arrived just a little too late to take a spark report, given the tps it probably stopped +5m before I opened the console
serveroverflow is a server scanner bot, it shouldn't cause your server to lag
that's probably a seperate issue
No idea what could it be, in terms of plugins it's only ViaV/B and Geyser+floodgate and stuff for decoration, like tab
I'll see if I can catch this happening again and take a proper report
I'm starting to think there's some sort of correlation
It joined again 2h after I left

Yh, idk either
Guess I'll have to keep the console open the whole day to see if I can catch it
You should use iptables to get rid of them
And if itโs a hosting provider, it should be their responsibility to get rid of bots
I wouldโve if I could, but is a hosting instance
I was thinking that maybe is part of a failed ddos that my SP is mitigating, which would make sense as it will slow down the hardware a bit
But doesnโt make sense since that account is most likely part of a server scanner, since is the only one trying to join
My best bet is trying to catch it when it tries to join to take a spark report and see how itโs doing it
Not sure if that will be enough tho, anything else I should consider to get more info?
