The correct way probably is using TCP intercept.  The one who
controls the router does this.  Blocking is ineffective and
obviously can have side-effects.

Ernesto, ask your provider to try TCP intercept.  It will block
bogus SYN requests without dropping valid ones.  Their router
should be able to handle it.
