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.

Any ideas on settings ? Or are ip adresses outside the US blocked ?

Pls advise

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
