Some dickhead was talking shit over a game then my entire wifi network shutdown? Thankfully called my cousin who’s pretty techy and he logged into my wifi login and said he “changed my dns” not sure what that meant but it’s working now. Severely un educated in the topic and I’m aware it probabaly won’t go past them fucking with my network but could any explain how they did that/ how to be preventative for it. If my cousin didn’t help woulda most likely been done but not sure. Appreciate any feedback
howd ur friend figured out ur DNS was changed?
As soon as they dossed me he threw on a vpn and said “now we’re in Brazil” assuming they’d go for him next. we were playing together on the server so also assuming if he didn’t have vpn on while in server they have his ip. Wether or not he changed with vpn his network should’ve received the dos because it was sent to his og ip not the “new one with the vpn on” like I said really un educated on the topic just now trying to get into understanding it
I have him the login into my network over the phone cuz I had motem with username and password right infront of my just gave it to him. He said he “stopped them from sending me more useless packets” but now after reading I think me unplugging my motem just reset my public ip and it stopped getting traffic from the dicks that dossed me
