SYNPROXY não parece estar em execução

SYNPROXY não parece estar em execução

Tentei criar iptablesregras para evitar que o limite de conexões do meu servidor seja preenchido com pacotes SYN incompletos para os quais nenhum pacote ACK é retornado pelo cliente (ataque de inundação SYN).

Eu li o [RFC 4987 TCP SYN Flooding Attacks and Common Mitigations][1] e [Mitigate TCP SYN Flood Attacks with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Beta][2] e finalmente tentei seguir as instruções [aqui][3]:https://javapipe.com/blog/iptables-ddos-protection/

No entanto, meu site ainda é facilmente derrubado por um ataque DOS usando o seguinte comando:

hping -S --flood -V -p 443 www.mydomain.com

No final do tutorial do Javapipe.com vinculado acima, o comando é mencionado para informar se SYNPROXY está ativo ou não.

Para verificar se o SYNPROXY está funcionando, você pode fazer watch -n1 cat /proc/net/stat/synproxy. Se os valores mudarem quando você estabelecer uma nova conexão TCP com a porta em que usa SYNPROXY, isso funcionará.

O comando é:

watch -n1 cat /proc/net/stat/synproxy

Quando uso esse comando no meu servidor e tento carregar uma página, os dados não mudam e são todos zeros.

Every 1.0s: cat /proc/net/stat/synproxy                                                                                                      Thu Jul 25 19:57:00 2019

O servidor é um VPS com Digital Ocean rodando Centos 7.6, Kernel: 3.10.0-862.2.3.el7.x86_64

Alguém pode ajudar a explicar por que o SYNPROXY pode não estar em execução, ou então, por que/como proteger meu servidor contra inundação de SYN?
