[https://blog.octovpn.com/the-ddos-that-bans-you/] "We are the first VPN on the market to come up with a solution for

Did the method stop working? What was the method?

Since you are reselling OVH, you should ask them to block syn-ack spam. it should be trivial for them to block. I would 
be surprised if it wasn't automatically detected already.

Short of bribing Sony, I don't see how you can stop random honey pots from banning spoofed ips. There's no technical 
solution for that.
