Hi,

Has anyone else been seeing (what appears to be) DDOS attempts against
their VPS's?

I've been getting quite a lot of messages like this in my logs over the
past few days:

Any ideas also on the best way to block? (I was reading about SYN
cookies, but not sure if this is a good idea or not).

cheers,
Matt.
