How to prevent other hosts on the same network from cutting of my internet connection?

  • 772

Recently, I've noticed that my Internet connection -- wireless on a public WiFi network -- has been cut off many times, and I think this may have been done maliciously or deliberately (for example, by users running Netcut on different systems).

How can I accomplish this?

    This is a problem; let's act immediately!

    You need (and should) to use a configured arpON daemon in all your personal computers and, if you are the network administrator, you can (and should) upgrade to a router with Internal Firewall and Peer Isolation.

    NOTE: Always use encrypted (at least WPA) networks to have a layer of extra protection and privacy; public networks are very often insecure and you should warn immediately the administrator if you find vulnerabilities & problems, also in institutional networks.
    Please note that arpON is very heavy and must be configured and tested: follow only the official guide and the man pages in your Ubuntu distribution!

    Ask by commenting down here if you need more help (safety & privacy are very important) and don't forget to press the UP arrow and set as favorite if I'm of any help. ;-)
    Have a nice experience,
    good evening!
