How do I react when I'm dozed?

Hey I'm playing on a very unknown Minecraft PE server and I'm afraid I'll be dozed! If that happens, how should I best react?

Router off / on, so you should usually get a new IP, if that doesn't work, renew ip yourself via Windows cmd.

ipconfig / release

ipconfig / renew

And of course, no longer join the server.

What does the DDOS mean…:

Distributed denial of service (attack).

What does this mean: someone would have to hijack a network of many computers in order to attack your account or the corresponding server. (Distributed - from multiple locations)

How likely is that? That had a zero probability.

Why are you afraid of it, why as a Minecraft player?

There are things in life that make sense to be afraid. The risk of a DDOS attack is definitely not worth being afraid of.

Psst. Of course, a new local IP does not change the public IP

And what happens then?

Your internet is no longer working, if anything happens.

Then you get a new IP from your provider and the attack is over because the old IP is no longer routable. Router restart, done.

You can also connect via a proxy or a VPN.
In this case, only the VPN IP is visible and the VPN server is unlikely to simply bend down in the event of an attack.

Even if. Change server and continue. And then someone made the VPN ISP an enemy.

As far as I know, the local IP of the computer is displayed for PE servers.

And what do you want with your local IP?

LOCAL. So only in your network.

In addition, this is not transmitted, but only a connection is established and the public IPv4 of the router is then there

Let's say IPv6 is used (which I highly doubt), then you have the PC's IPv6, but the router's firewall is still blocking incoming unauthorized traffic.

And now think a little bit and include the fact that the FS does not know the difference between DDOS and DOS, but uses "DDOS" as an umbrella term for both.

So now we're at DOS, that does not need a network of many computers, but only one.
Nowadays every child can start a DOS attack thanks to various instructions on the Internet.
For example a child who feels unfairly treated on the server because of WasAchAlways.

And suddenly the probability is no longer zero, but so high that it is within the realm of possibility.

No, the local IP is not displayed on any server.
Would be nice, too, because 95 out of 100 users would have the IP 192.168.0.2.

You don't do that from your own computer. The bandwidth is usually too small for this.

There are extra paid services that perform these attacks for you. They are called stressers or booters. You then pay, for example, 10 euro per month and can then launch as many attacks per day as you want. The higher the range of such "stressors", the more they cost. However, even the cheapest providers are more than sufficient if the goal is a private individual. But even high-performance services with a very high bandwidth can be rented relatively cheaply. https://www.heise.de/...06303.html
