Yeah, nothing is perfect. I had to ban some more VPN endpoints in the US as they were used to funnel massive amounts of traffic from Asia to our site.

Unfortunately, that might also block legit users that happen to be routed through the same endpoints, even if they aren't using a VPN themselves.

Yeah, i had to block some large providers in Europe because the attacks also funnel through VPNs there.

We're still being attacked in force. If i remove those blocks, the site will become very slow again.

Thanks for the feedback. Have been searching all over the place as I thought it were my settings. A pity and hope to scroll this platform fm my laptop again soon. Iphone screen is too small for my 57 year old eyes

Unblocking some of Europe right now. Going slow to monitor activity.

Unfortunately, there are a few VPN endpoints that need to stay blocked.
I still see a massive amount of traffic thrown our way.

Still happening, i had to block two more US based VPN endpoints.

This latest attack has been ongoing for weeks now. I block them, they find other entry points. Rinse and repeat.

No one. We are likely on a list in some hacker kit due to the old board software. Or we just got picked up by someone crawling for exploitable webspace.

Just another weekly reminder that we're still under attack.

If the site feels slow and sluggish, you know who to thank.
