What is going on with this Board

[Mun]

There is a ton of downtime, and I know  it is because of a DDOS, but still it is flaky at best. 10 Minutes all good, then really really slow, and then nothing at all. (repeat)

I think I just am going to go work on my own stuff. (Sigh)

 

[MannDude]

It's exactly what you just said. For what it's worth, WHT has been slowing down a lot too as I suspect people are throwing out attacks.

The DDoS earlier progressed to a RUDY Flood which was a bit harder for Francisco and Aldryic to filter but they got there

As the final tweaks are made, everything should start being more responsive.

 

[Afterburst-Charlie]

So far so good, the forums have experienced tremendous growth within just a few hours. Good job guys.

 

[Patrick]

Unfortunately someones not happy, DDoS only funnily mainly occurs when LET was down but seems fine now as it's up again

 

[MannDude]

We've also got some pixie dust we're going to sprinkle around to help out with the load and to ensure we stay up as often as possible.

I may get rid of PHP-FPM if Nick/Curtis want me to.

I had to kick it a few minutes ago because it simply stopped serving requests.

Probably just get php-cgi going.

No worries now, VPSBoard is all safe over at Francisco's DDoS Protected network

Sadly I think it can only take ~50 Gbps... (might be wrong, as that might be the old numbers)

It was the RUDY Flood that hurt most as they're apparently harder to filter but a few tweaks from Francisco and Aldryic and we were back up

 

[jarland]

Clearly the only way to avoid a DDOS today, as an alternate forum option on a topic similar to LET, was to not have any active members. I wouldn't judge this place by script kiddies doing what they do

 

[drmike]

Yeah, funny, every time LET/LEB have a major bed wetting issue all their competitors get massively attacked.

I don't recall this syndrome until CC got involved.  Anyone remember this sort of thing when the old lowendadmin ran the place?

 

[Nick]

Well, we're under one hell of a large attack now. Someone wants to get through.

BuyVM are amazing.

BuyVM are amazing.

Definitely and they're so cheap.

Currently: 500 packets in .006s

Appropriate song for this occasion?

I have actually sent a few potential clients over to them. I don't take clients on that require more from my services than I offer, DOS protection for example. I will normally just send them over to BuyVM.

I really need to stop advertising for other businesses... haha

 

[drmike]

BuyVM runs a good operation.  I can't speak highly enough of them.

Have yet to test the durability of the pony team and ability to handle the attacks.  But I have my pins in place to do so, cause I think I might need the protection in the future

Maybe this is a great time for us to collectively test OpenLiteSpeed with vpsBoard and see some real world performance after say a month?

Just throwing it out there.
