The best way is to do so on a hardware level, via the server that relays to your machine (or router, but that'll take less of a hit before it clogs up), or via software methods, as I've already talked about in this thread (null routes).

[_DreadNought_]

You need to get a server behind a anti ddos router, its the best solution, if you do it via software it only helps 1/4 as good as a anti ddos router, Using software it STILL reaches your computer, it's just blocked, What if you get spammed with so many packets the anti-ddos software cant handle blocking them all? It will then crash, and you will receive the full power of the almighty effects of a DDoS attack.

Yes software does help, specially for unspoofed DoS attacks, you get there IP. My home connection was attacked 2 days ago, Software filtered it completely, So yes for a home connection software is normally the best way to go, but for a server, you need proper protection.

Just FYI, Free anti-ddos is ****.
