I pissed off a nerd in another forum and now he gathered a army to ping my computer constantly. I just want to know if there is a way i can block it.

My firewall blocks the ping is it's 1-5 people trying to ping me, but this is like 2000+ people pinging me at the same time.

I tried changing my ip address, but they find my new IP in minutes.

This is annoying because my internet goes down often and for hours at a time.

have you tried using IP masking software? if you can successfully mask it from those nerds, then on the next IP switch, they wont be able to detect you that easily. this may not stop them if they're good at what they do, but it's better than nothing.

Can't you report them? If you get pinged, then you can see their IP and consider it a cyber attack or attempted DDoS if you are getting 2000+ pings
