If somebody has my ip, is it possible for them to ddos my connection

>>58727954
Sounds more like malware or a RAT cutting packets sent to twitch.tv. It's probably just an issue with twitch though, as ddos attacks only ping ip addresses, and can't do what you described.

I'm thinking it doesn't seem to be an issue with the site due to the suspicious timing. I've asked around if other streamers had similar issues but nobody has. It's been happening for months now...

As for malware, would anybody really care to write and get something installed on my computer for me personally? They would have to pay attention to my streams and sit there waiting to mess up my connection at specific times. If that's the case it must be a really big personal grudge.

SHUT IT DOWN, THEY KNOW!

I have somewhat the same problem. I can't determine who's mesing up my connection on important event times on my browser game. The ip logging to the browser game is not my own but my browsers over-the-cloud flash support so they could not get my real ip. The ip logging to the site is CloudMosa's servers located in the US. I'm not in the US. I see rather unconvincent that CloudMosa is mesing up my internet on specific times... I don't know what's happening.

Use the scientific method. Keep a log of whenever it happens; write down the time, how long into the stream, the bit rate, what your current CPU usage is, anything you can think of.

If there's an identifiable pattern that only relates to the time or certain events on your stream itself, then you could conclude that a human being might be doing it intentionally. If not, it's probably something else.

how many subs/viewers do you have?

>>58728746
Usually around 60

Your ISP has bandwidth overhauls at certain hours or maybe admins are ddosing your default twitch stream ports. Consider reconfiguring the gibson kernel, iptables and setting up a strong military-grade firewall software.

I haven't kept detailed logs but some times it's been fine for ~3 hours but 9/10 times it happens after 1 to 2.5 hours after I start streaming when it coincides with a raffle drawing that I hold. So I'm almost certain I'm being sabotaged, I just don't know how it's possible.

>>58728746
Don't know why that other guy answered since he's not the OP but I get about 600-700 viewers on average.

It's happened on various times of the day so probably not a throttling issue. I've tried to severely turn down the bitrate (300kbps) to see if I can squeeze out anything at all but that doesn't even work. So whatever's fucking me is not even giving me an inch. Despite being on /g/ I'm not a tech god so I don't know where to even begin with gibson kernels or iptables as I have no idea what they are.

> A related question

If I'm using 3g or 4g, and someone knows my current IP.

Can they DDOS my IP somehow, and eat all my bandwidth? Most 3g or 4g is capped to within a certain limit.

Try a VPN. Sometimes it's the route of your connection that is borked. I had to do this two nights ago to get to a US site from Australia via a VPN in japan.

anon your ISP is fucking you over. They are probably throttling your upload speed. So when you are browsing, shitposting everything is fine and dandy and as soon as you start streaming (uploading several megs per second) your ISP just throttles the connection and you get fucked hard in the ass.
Test it. Try to upload a couple of gigs of anything to Mega to see how it goes. If you have some form of monitoring the connection you will notice how it starts and reaches your top upload speed and after a while it will drop almost to nada.

I know this, one month I uploaded a lot, forgot that they charge differently for upload, I reached my cap limit way before I usually use up bandwidth, assholes charged me €45 for one days usage.

>>58729173
I'm sorry about this, you probably have a great connection (updwards 10megs) I live in a third world country and let me tell you even though my connection doesn't go above 7megs it just works at that speed consistently through the day and no cap whatsoever.
Try to see if you can get another ISP that in theory gives you less bandwidth but provides better quality overall. As I told you it's better have a consistent service with no bullshit surprises at the end of the month that buying in the whole "100meg" internet that actually never reaches that speed or when it does it's just for 10 fucking minutes.
Good luck.

>>58729116
This sounds like a good idea. I will try it, thanks.

>>58729120
I haven't felt anything like this cause I can upload to youtube just fine.

>>58729173
Damn that sucks. My isp doesn't even count upload toward usage caps at all, it's free.

Remember to look at ocean cables before selecting a VPN. Should give you an idea of what proxys to try.
