For starts, 1 to 14 connections is a basic connection for most users. 15 to 29 is asking for it but with the whole firefox max.connections tweat, users put 20 or 25 to load pages faster, which really makes the site slower on a small server. So, 1 to 29 connections you can keep unless you know it's a DoS/DDoS attack. Alrighty. Before you being, you must login your SSH. Personally, I use terminal via Ubuntu. Login styles may vary upon the tool you are using whether it's a third-party Rating: 5

isn't it a bad idea to save the blocks to iptables, ddos attacks are usually temporary and after some time your going to have huge tables running and slowing things down.
Also you may be permanently banning a legit ip by mistake.

That's why i like ddosDeflate as it temporary bans IP's
