Just waiting until other people have this issue too. Then suddenly everything goes around 180 degree here. Have a nice day so long.
Oh and im sure this will be closed now, to avoid other victims coming back here sometime later...
You will find other people sharing your cognitive bias.
I will find people agreeing with me that our opponents use voodoo to reduce our chances of winning. So unfair! I don't have to prove it because I'm not a voodoo shaman myself.
People have internet issues every day. Doesn't mean they are getting DDOSed.
#1 Since this is such a fun thread, I offer my 2 cents:
http://xyproblem.info/"This forces the opponent to disconnect for some time, meanwhile he is at move and his time goes down."
Any details you can offer would help us better understand what you're talking about. How frequently is a disconnection occurring? Is this on a PC or mobile?
someone's watching too much of 'mr robot'
Also, for the sake of clarifying, "DDoS" means "Distributed Denial of Service", that means many sources (computers) sending tons of packets to a single target, requesting a file for example, or just saying "hello". the "Denial" part comes from the target being unable to serve all those requests coming from the multitude of sources.
Now, unless something special happens with your Internet Service Provider you have one single internet-facing IP. Some ISPs only provide "dynamic" IPs, meaning that at any point in time -and without the customer noticing- the internet-facing IP can change. In this case, the target IP is unpredictable and more difficult to attack. The router that provides you with wi-fi and where all devices connect to in your house does assign IPs to each of the devices, so depending on the tool you use it may look like you have a different or many IPs. One important thing to notice here is that the IP that your router gives your computer is not public, nobody in internet can find out this internal IP, so an attacker could reach your router but to reach your computer they need to bombard every possible internal IP or they might just miss you. The effect would be that every device connected to the router would lose the ability to reach internet.
Just thought I would try to explain how things work and maybe that would help you understand why we think the cause of your problem is something else.
"This is nonsense. There's no way to get your opponent's IP. No way. Prove me wrong."
I thought the new voice chat feature was peer to peer? Or does every chat get passed through a lichess server?
"Even if you had their IP, you couldn't do anything with it. Here's mine: 88.184.4.183. Prove me wrong"
I don't understand this statement at all. Are you saying DDOS attacks don't exist; you need more than just an IP address; something else?
Voice chat is opt-in, and no-one ddoses individuals, because it's expensive and ISPs mitigate it.
