Implementor Anume Posted April 27, 2013 Implementor Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Our usual port has been closed down by the server because someone spam pinged us. So it was an intentional attack. :madg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Implementor Anume Posted April 27, 2013 Implementor Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 That is also the reason why everything got so very laggy before it went down altogether by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immortal Tongar Posted April 28, 2013 Immortal Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 The server is down again. Does it work for you guys? I am just wondering that nobody asks if the mud is down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Voodoo Doll Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 it was lagging then booting, down now though for last 10 min for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricsheep Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yeah, was going try to come back and roll something this weekend but... nope. Try a load balancer or setting up a proper firewall, if you are running a linux shell. If you need any help with that, pm me. Otherwise, I'll try next weekend.

Implementor Anume Posted April 28, 2013 Implementor Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 The DDOS has returned and our ISP was forced to block Portent's main IP address again. -Jim It's another spam attack. We're working on it with the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Network layers of DDoS protection are available from certain hosts, but costs so much money that a free game/website isn't likely to adopt.

Meh, was going to d-wave about having a ton of MC and Arma servers hosted on my racks but.. not worth it. If you need help, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Implementor Anume Posted April 28, 2013 Implementor Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Morlach, Tongar and I worked this out with Jim from Genesis, let's see if it works to stop the DDoS attacks on us (I really hope so, this is tiresome.).

Implementor Anume Posted April 29, 2013 Implementor Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 The DDoS attacks have not stopped unfortunately. Whoever is doing this is really investing a lot of effort just to make other people's life miserable. Hope he feels good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
