Rate Limit Packets with Windows Firewall 2008?

Question

Is there any way to limit the incoming packets from the same IP address to X per second? We run specific types of services (game servers) on our machines, and a lot of exploits for it rely on spamming 70-100 empty packets to it.

Answer 1

Have you looked into Policy-Based QoS? Depending on the protocol they are sending those packets in, you could be able to limit it with that.

Here's the location of the Policy: Group Policy Manager > Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings, right-click Policy-based QoS > click Create new Policy

Here's all the values.

If they are sending the blank packets on the same port as your game runs on, this probably won't work.
