recently I've been streaming over the past week or two and my internet has been going out while I stream constantly, but it wasn't as bad as yesterday. I've been streaming all year consistently, but the stream hasn't really gotten any attention until the past 2 weeks. never had any issues streaming until the past 2 weeks.

During these past 2 weeks, when my stream gets over 5 viewers, my internet will constantly go out for seconds up to a minute. At some times, 30 minutes - hour, until I turn off the router/modem for a few minutes, and boom internet back on (dynamic IP im assuming).

But it's never been as bad as yesterday when I tried streaming. Every time my stream would get any amount of viewers, every time it got cut off for 30 minutes to an hour, probably longer if I let it, until I turned off the modem/router for a few minutes and it came back online every time. Is this normal router/modem behavior? This is the main reason why I think it could be ddos. weird behavior like this sounds like a ddos, but if you think im wrong let me know what it could be

-i've streamed for most of this year and never had any internet problems until the past 2 weeks when my stream started getting attention

-the modem and router are both new from last year

-It is ethernet cabled into my pc

I also want to put more detail into why I think it may be DDOS, the connection will just be out for a long period of time, 30 minutes to an hour, and then as soon as I turn it off and back on for a few minutes, it's back on, probably because dynamic IP.

weird behavior like this sounds like a ddos.

hey hey I just found out something weird. I started using VPN while streaming, and the VPN IP started losing connection. Changed IP again, it was fine, and then losing connection again. I am actively changing IP's with a VPN and they're getting taken down.  I had to do this 3 times in a row in a span of 5 minutes.
