DOWN Time

[RobertD]

Hi folks,

We've been down all day due to a DDoS attack. This was probably not aimed at us, but we got caught up in it. We are back up. I'm going to move the server as absolutely soon as possible in the next few days. I'm not happy with how this all happened, but it's outside of any control I have.

At any rate, we're up, though I don't know if the attack will happen again tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed.

Do people really have nothing better to do? These idiot oughta pick up a wrench. I dunno... BUILD something?

Hi,

if you want me to -
I have a fairly reliable DDoS protection for apache on one of my servers..
-
I can check where it's from and send you there.

Oh;
welcome back!

I've been referred to cloudflare, Itsid, but I'd welcome the info.

I'm sorry it's quite a read, but it helped me out,
and although it's idling most of the time it's still enabled 'at home'
