CC attacks are a common form of cyber attack designed to overload or render servers unavailable. As a server administrator, you can mitigate the impact of these attacks by taking preventive measures. Here are a few important steps to use Pagoda Panel to prevent CC attacks.
1. Install and update Pagoda Panel
First, make sure you have installed the latest version of Pagoda Panel and update it in time. The Pagoda team regularly releases updates that include fixes for security vulnerabilities and issues. By keeping up to date, you can ensure the security of the panel itself and get the latest protective features.
2. Enable DDoS protection
Pagoda panel provides built-in DDoS protection function, which can help resist various CC attacks. In the panel, you can find DDoS protection options, where you can enable firewall rules and traffic filters to mitigate the impact of CC attacks on your server. Make sure these features are enabled and configured as needed.
3.Set access restrictions
To reduce malicious requests and potential CC attacks, you can set access restrictions to limit the frequency of access to the server. In the Pagoda panel, you can use the IP blacklist and whitelist functions to blacklist certain IP addresses or only allow specific IP addresses to access the server. By limiting access frequency, you can effectively reduce the risk of CC attacks.
4. Use a Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Web application firewall is an effective defense measure that can identify and block malicious requests. Pagoda Panel supports multiple WAF options, you can choose the WAF product that suits your needs and integrate it into the server. WAF can detect and block malicious requests in CC attacks, thus protecting your server from attacks.
5. Monitor server traffic
Regularly monitoring server traffic can help you detect abnormal activities and potential CC attacks in a timely manner. The Pagoda panel provides traffic monitoring tools so you can view the inbound and outbound traffic of your server. If you notice unusual traffic spikes or consistently high traffic, that could mean the server is suffering from a CC attack. In this case, you can take timely measures to deal with the attack.
By taking a series of preventive measures, using the Pagoda Panel can effectively prevent CC attacks and ensure the security of the server. Installing and updating Pagoda Panel, enabling DDoS protection, setting access restrictions, using a web application firewall, and monitoring server traffic are a few important steps. By applying these measures comprehensively, you can improve the security of your server and reduce the impact of CC attacks on your server.
