Is this just a problem with the settings?

A firewall does not necessarily protect you from ddos attack. Really depends how it is setup. In your case, there are over 5000 concurrent connections which exceeds your current max connections settings in LSWS. hence the message. You can increase the limit to 10000 or higher in LSWS (Server => General) and see if the similar message again.

You may follow the guide below to help the situation if there are excessive connections from individuals (possible ddos attack).
