How can I config IPTABLES for DDOS aatacks?

Hello
Here

in your /etc/sysctl.conf file and apply the settings with sysctl -p.

I go to /etc/sysctl.conf  it says:
"Vendors settings live in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/.
# To override a whole file, create a new file with the same in
# /etc/sysctl.d/ and put new settings there. To override
# only specific settings, add a file with a lexically later
# name in /etc/sysctl.d/ and put new settings there.
#
# For more information, see sysctl.conf(5) and sysctl.d(5)."

What can I do?
Can I add the code to /etc/sysctl.conf  directly or have to breate a new file ?
What does " apply the settings with sysctl -p" mean?


Thanks

all depends on the ddos type as some can be blocked on the server and some can't...each attack is different and there are many types....

How can find the type?
They hammer index,php of the Wordpress or visit the pages that are not available.
I am using Cloudflare too.
As it seems it's kind of Vrute Force Attack.

this should be checked by experienced system admin as it needs to check packages, logs and traffic with tcpdump.
Try asking your hosting provider to assist you on that or cwp support if your provider has no support.
