If I open Control Panel
> Security
> Protection
, check Enable DoS Protection
and click Apply
, what kind of traffic gets blocked?
The text reads "Denial-of-Service (DoS) protection helps to prevent malicious attacks over the internet."
I cannot find more detailed information about this.
What more precisely does this DoS protection do except helping to "prevent malicious attacks"? How does it know which are malicious attacks and which are valid requests?
I need some better definition of what gets blocked, so I do not happen to block valid traffic by mistake if I enable this.
And in this particular case, I need to support an application that unfortunately needs to make about 150 connections simultaneously or in quick succession…

Not an answer yet, but some input:
iptables-save
output on "DSM 5.2-5644 Update 5":With DoS protection off:
With DoS protection on:
No relevant changes between the respective outputs of
sysctl -a
(only runtime values change, like inode number)In all cases,
tc -p class show dev eth0
andtc -p qdisc show dev eth0
show default settings.
