There is a way to get a serverIP. I can get urs right now. It’s pretty easy. But, When a game shuts down, the ip get’s reseted, so they must have some kind of bot that keeps on getting your ip. Just lower the server size, so they can’t ddos all server’s.
It’s still pathetic that nothing’s been done after people have reported it.

I’m worried about this kind of thing happening down the road to a game I’m working on. Does the web api give potential attackers the IP and port for all running servers?
I’ve been wondering if you can basically segregate newer players in their own servers to prevent them joining games that are going to ruin the experience of established players. I was planning on having the main place be a hub that would then transport people to the server they belong in.
It uses NetworkClient. Documentation is here for what they use to get IP and Port, Roblox Broadcasts it to that function when you join the game.
Roblox Doesn’t care much about security anymore tbh.

Hello, I have a TEMPORARY fix for your game, here’s the following steps.to temporarily take until they quit attacking your game.
1( We will head to game settings and go to places and create a place with the exact same name and description as your current attacked game.
2( We will now go to create tab and find the place that was just created, should not be hard to find as it should be first in the list of group creations in games section
3( We will publish the game to the newly created place (press publish to game as, go to group creations, press your current game (not the new place) and there should pop up 2 games (your current and the exact replica we earlier made, publish the game as you want to the exact replica)
4( We will now make a script in serverscript called TPS and include the following in it , PLEASE MAKE SURE NOT TO PUBLISH THIS TO THE EXACT REPLICA OR THERE WILL BE A INFINITE LOOP TELEPORT.
placeid = exactreplicaidherethatyougotfromcreatortab
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
game:GetService("TeleportService"):Teleport(placeid,Player)
end)
5( We will set the playercount to 1, now your community will be able to play without anyone crashing but will not be able to choose which server to join as they will be teleported to the exact replica of game where gameplay will work normally (playercount will show fine but no servers). The reason we set playercount to 1 is so they can join and get teleported okay without the exploiter still crashing the servers they will try to join to teleport.
6( Wait out until the ddosers are tired and stop harassing you and your community.

Bumping this thread because after 6+ months, Roblox has still failed to fix this security issue. We cannot handle the security of the servers, that is Roblox’s responsibility and we’ve yet to see a resolution to the DDoS issue. These people keep DDoSing games and then messaging the game’s staff on discord that they have to pay (x) sum of Robux for the attacks to end. We have emailed Roblox (over 10 emails), contacted other parties who have also been affected and told them to report this issue, we have contacted Roblox admins, and to this day we’ve yet to hear any resolution.

It’s just not profitable for them to fix it because it only affects small games. If it would affect big games, they probably would fix it. If you were Roblox, you probably wouldn’t fix it as well. Take a look at it from the company view. Probably the only thing you can right now do is some sort of DDoS detection system which would teleport users from the attacked server.

This is so obviously fake, the panel literally has a video encoder option???
???
The panel is software you can download theres alot like it all you need is an ip and if you flood it with enough packets it will crash, its not roblox ui.
alright bro, lemme just quickly attack a server with a Digital Video Recorder 
Just thought the same thing you could probably check if the server was lagging by seeing the time between each heartbeat on the server and if that goes too high then save every players data and just send them to a different server

Maybe not that image but the ddosing itself is true.
Actually, it is how the DDoS works. They use infected/hacked DVRs to send the data packets from them to the provided IP.
People infected dvrs as most of them are connected to the internet and they use them to ddos
No??
thats not how DVRS work.
You dont know anything abt ddossing.

And the fact that 1 google search will show you theres 100 more articles I dont know how I can prove this further, like just research it yourself, the evidence is pretty substantial.
i don’t think you would hook up a whole DVR just to ddos some random roblox server LOL
