You just want to look for indicators of an IP Booter during the pre-game cut scene and during the face-off/beginning of the game (you want to give yourself enough time to pull a first minute quit). This method is simple and free but, not fool proof. I apologize to the tech guys out there if I explained it wrong, please feel free to step in and correct me. This is probably the best way to protect yourself or so I could find. You can checkout this article on tech radar for the best VPNs. A simple search of google can find you tons of VPNs and how to set up your own on a Windows computer if you so desire. This method does have a cost to it if you want a decent VPN software, there are free ones and Windows comps usually have a built in VPN software (however, you need to have a good amount of upload bandwidth or so I read). The better VPN software will reduce this but, it is something you have to consider when weighing the pros and cons of having a VPN. There is a con to using a VPN (as brought up by u/nickmdp ), and that is the added latency you will have. You are basically just protect yourself by hiding your true identity so to speak. But, let's face it, it is NHL and the majority of people doing this are most likely teenagers with crappy software. This method may not work against people that are good at this type of stuff and have high end software/hardware for things like IP Booting or DDOSing.
So when the Booter finds your address it will be some random USA IP address and when they try to send an overload of information to that address (which they think is your real one) the information will not actually go to your router. With a VPN, you may live in Canada but your IP Address will come up as one in the USA (if you so chose). The IP Booter needs the real IP Address of your router in order to flood it with loads of information. Here are the two methods that can help you out (Note: they do not GUARANTEE full protection but, will make a big difference): One methods involves spending a bit of money if you want to be well protected (it can also be free but provides minimal protection) and the other is completely free. If there are any tech experts out there that would like to correct me or give additional steps, please do.įrom what I have found there are two ways you can ensure you are protected against IP Booters.
What I am sharing with you is research I have done on my own. Let me start off by saying that I am in no way a tech expert. Although there is little we can do to stop the IP Booting, we can take steps to ensure we protect ourselves. As we all know, with the introduction of CS and better rewards, IP Booting has become rampant in NHL 17.
