[Developing] Outsourcing Services like FTP/Webserver

[tschulian]

Hey Guys,
I dont write much text about ***** to get developed.
So I just make a listing which could be outsourced, and why and how it works. If you dont know what outsourcing means, you should leave the thread.

Outsourcing Webserver for Homepage
- this will reduce traffic
- provide a bit of DoS Protection if hosted by a correct company (strato, ovh and many others)
- better Admin handling and more security for the gameserver

-> Problem: I tested it, and I cannot make a connection to the SQL
-> You need to know how to use windows firewall rules to grant access only to the companys IP-Ranges
-> It costs 2-5$ more every month

Outsourcing FTP Server for CrestEmblems
- this will reduce traffic
- provide a bit of DoS Protection if hosted by a correct company (strato, ovh and many others)
- better Admin handling and more security for the gameserver

-> already tested and works well
-> stable and more secure
-> mostly your webspace includes already a ftp service

Outsourcing Database
- better management
- increase performance
- more security

Separate Servers for Silkroad Modules
- easier management if you wanna expand
- better performance


Setting up a Security Proxy (developed by me)
- Hides the windows IP so your root + SQL cannot be attacked so easy
- easy avoids flood exploits to crash your modules

-> I dont know how the modules communicate and thats why it procudes a loop which cause a huge amount of lags - if some1 is interested in working together with this Security Proxy with me, let me know.


*this is the Scheme of the Proxy. Its already working well, but got a little issue with communication between Serverfiles and Proxy itself.


PS: be careful AngelsMU says he is MGProject and try to abuse his name.

since the only thing to finish is the security proxy, I already prepared tutorials and FAQs for fullfilling most of these outsourcing parts.

- FTP Outsourcing is the easiest and works perfectly.
- Webserver outsourcing seems to be the same, but most hosters does not support mssql_ functions which are responsible for my connection errors. I already contacted stratos support. lets see what they write
- sql outsourcing to a second maschine seems usefull, but you need to make sure, that there is a good connections with LESS hops.
- moduleoutsourcing makes sense for 1.5k ++ players (especially gameservers)

This is useless. Especially that proxy. Thats really useless ^^. You're increasing server load for no reason.

I was running 4.5k chars without doing all of this ****. Now, think about this. Its useless.
You don't need all that.

What is the load balancer doing?

The proxy wont take so much ressources... Main aspect is to provide a bit more security using this firewall/proxy and hiding the windows IP.
And if you host a small virtuall Server on a well named hoster with a good ddos protect you can get a ddos protection for a small amount of money.
Of course there are way better methods, but this could be usefull for all those who cannot afford 300$ for hyperfilters or 150++ for a secured dedicated.

Wrong.

People who do serious work on a serious server CAN pay for hyperfilter, If you can't, it sign that that you shouldn't open up a server. But hey, how many of these idiots open a server, just to close it again in a week.

This argument is ****. Money has nothing to do with serious business.

Do you think you've always done right?

Yeah, man, you know is wrong. Now and stop insulting people.

This "Proxy" would help alot of ppl against DDoS and spam exploits.
This would cost: the price of a cheap Linux based VPS hosted by a default DDoS Protected company.

Nvm, Akasch we all know ur server is good, but like the ppl say, not everyone can afford a 300$ DDoS Protection ...
You could spent 10 Minutes of ur life to help other serious ppl to get a bit more protection & more safer feeling ...
