    Several Question, Thanks for taking your time to help me <3

    What I have for this server
    1 Modem goes to me and my roommates
    1 Modem goes to the Server wired in and ready
    Tower I don't use 16 GB of ram GTX 970 Intel i7 1tb of Space Eclipse and thats it and NotePad++

    I have another computer for gaming and the tower above will be for the server^


    Questions I have and thanks again!


    Can anything bad happen if i host a big server at home?

    Can I get swatted or can someone get my location?

    Can people find out where I live?

    Best protection for ddosing and is this compatible with my modem or Internet at home?

    Reason I am asking on here is because I trust Bukkit more and there are plenty of good people out here in the Bukkit community i dont wanna ask on any other community or google it because it could give me wrong answers and lead me somewhere on the wrong direction!!

    Thanks again everyone and have a amazing week <3

    1. Depends. Are you asking if the rig itself will do something bad or if someone else will do something bad? If its the former, not really; as long as everything is set up correctly, there should be no problem from the rig. If it is the latter, read below.
    2. Yes, those are possibilities. But, there is a way around this. If you use a proxy/ VPN, all messages in and out of your server will have to go through an outside source, so in that case they will only be able to find the location of the proxy.
    3. Yes. Again, proxys would prevent this.
    4. <I do not know much about DDoS protection, so this should be answered by someone else>

  4. Why would you get swatted if you host a server at home? I don't get it

    Swatting cases usually happen during live streams
