Go to your network settings and see if a setting is dedicated to making changes to your public or static IP address; then make the change and click OK. If you’re experiencing an ongoing DDoS attack, this might help. You may want to install a quality firewall to protect against future attacks. There are plenty of free ones, but if you’d prefer something more robust, check out some of the paid options.

The most common type of DDoS attack uses multiple computers to send traffic to a single destination. This type of attack is called a “distributed” attack because it requires more than one machine to participate in the attack.

The attacker packets send to the targeted host using a protocol like TCP or UDP. These protocols allow data to travel across networks without requiring a connection between endpoints. A packet sent over the Internet travels to its destination. If the router receives too much traffic, it may drop some packets, causing routers to arrive out of order.
