Krydos Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The way a denial of service attack works is by overloading the server with a large number of connections preventing any legitimate traffic from being able to connect. Sometimes when regular users have a large number of connections, in your case 41, the server suspects you of trying to DoS it and blocks you.
