Traffic Hackers with Linode
As you know traffic costs money with Linode.
What if someone decides to stole my traffic generating false requests/responses?
How to prevent that?
Thanks

@akerl:
If you have your server configured to serve something publicly, it can be reached by the public. This isn't hacking you, or stealing, this is people using your public server as a public server.
And how I may be prevented from hackers who use some special tools to generate "false" requests to stole my traffic?
Anyways, if you find someone making a bunch of unnecessary requests, you can firewall them from accessing your server.
