How to obfuscate the public IP address of a mining pool, to protect it against DDOS attacks?
I have a yiimp mining pool running on a cloud server.
I would like to secure it with HTTPS and anti-DDOS by obfuscating the public ip using Cloudflare, while still retaining stratum mining functionality from the yiimp pool.
The domain of my website is mycoin.io and I have set up the DNS to point to cloudflare. So now the website has HTTPs and DDOS protection.
My yiimp pool server is hosted on the cloud at 149.55.55.55 and I have setup cloudflare to redirect subdomain pool.mycoin.io to that ip address.
Now my mining script can look like this:
-o stratum+tcp://149.55.55.55:3747 -u WALLET_ADDRESS -p c=BUEN
or like this:
-o stratum+tcp://pool.mycoin.io:3747 -u WALLET_ADDRESS -p c=BUEN
But this does not provide any https or anti-ddos protection.
How can I obfuscate the public IP of my pool so that:
-o stratum+tcp://pool.mycoin.io:3747 -u WALLET_ADDRESS -p c=BUEN
still works?
pool.mycoin.io is currently NXDOMAIN - something is not setup right. – Willtech – 2018-05-24T09:28:30.753
