To all -

Yesterday (and still as of now) we’re being swarmed with abusive bots.

Our host will be applying two changes to our server environment today and we’ll require a little DT to apply one of them. Not much.

We might rip the bandaid and do both today before NOON. The DT required change we may wait until 5am Tuesday.

Long story short. We have some solutions identified.

Frustrating… and it feels hard at times to stay ahead of what bots are doing. This time it’s not as simple as IP blocking.

I’ll update this post as stuff is completed.

Thank you, CGI

I thought it was my new phone. Turn off WiFi, nope. Turn off cellular data, nope. Go to the laptop, nothing. Reset router and modem. Still nothing then I got in and saw this post. Good thing! I was getting ready to put the house up for sale!

I’ve been thinking about the end of humanity. It probably starts with something like this. More and more ai bots popping in to more and more systems. It’s gets full control. Governments try to save themselves by turning off access to the internet. By then it’s too late.

We’ve made progress. One more change coming and we should not experience an outage with it.

An update to follow.

Terminator. The Matrix. We're screwed.
 
I am adding CloudFlare today. This will require members and visitors to check a box indicating they are human.

Yesterday alone we received over 1.8 million requests from over 270,000 different unique IPs.

The internet is a cesspool.

I run a VPN and see more and more sites block people with VPNs. Is that gonna be the case here?
