Another DDOS ?

[shorena]

Its very unstable, my attempts to post this started at 1422, its now 1438.

When its working, its working fine though. When not its just time out after time out.

for the last some days i was also feeling same of getting login very late and in between the site is just hanged up and i have to refresh the page but still i was not able to login for some time. after that it is working fine, i thought that my internet or computer was having problem but after seeing this thread now i got to know that the site got some problem.

Hope that all problems are sorted out.

Again down, at the moment it's really slow.

I'm noticing connection problems since yesterday. And it is still happening.

I dislike when this happens.

Just got a message that my session token was invalid, please log out and log back in again.
Was able to sign out and sign back in but site is still lagging randomly.

This happened to me while I was trying to delete some posts. However, there was no need to actually log out and log back in. A simple refresh and secondary attempt fixed it.
It keeps becoming inaccessible from time to time here as well.

It's very unstable since yesterday morning. Some subforums seems slower than others.

I can confirm right now that the forum is insanely slow. I use TOR Browser in order to browse this forum at work because they have it blocked with a firewall or something, so it makes it even slower. I tried with a VPN, it's more usable but I dont like to pay for a VPN. Tor was working just fine until today which became super slow. Please help.

How vpn works to you? what vpn you use.. honestly mine is not working i am using flyvpn.. and i am still halving issue even a normal browsing without proxy or vpn.. just like now i just reloading until the page load successful sometime time out or error. .

Hm, it looked to me like some sort of upstream networking failure, but now it happened again on a different IP, so maybe it is a difficult-to-detect DDoS. I'll continue to investigate.

Thank Theymos. It's not like yesterday where eventually if you kept trying you could get through. It just took me half an hour to get on but now it seems to be working perfectly.

I have used various, one of the is PIA (private internet access). AirVPN is also decent. Go to reddit, there are VPN reddits and people will help you to choose one, but if you don't want to spend any money, Tor does a good job in this forum (except during this DDos which is sooo slow)

Only checked the forum now, couldn't access for the last 12+ hours, more or less. Curious thing is the beta forum was available meanwhile... Thanks to theymos for the hard work getting this back up.

[amacar2]

Finally forum now seem to be fine and working properly after around 24 hour of unexpected downtime. Hope there will be no another similar downtime soon.

[InvoKing]

Only checked the forum now, couldn't access for the last 12+ hours, more or less.

For me i couldn't connect from ~ 6 hours and i checked it several times.
The curious thing when i Google down for me or? 2 or 3 sites said that it is only me while another one failed to connect also here.
For the moment I can connect but it is a little bit slower

[majorX]

I experienced that inability to log into the forum from about 1PM GMT to 3 PM. I seems to be back now. Did we had confirmation that ur is a DDoS ?

[veleten]

the forum is real sluggish for me
with occasional refresh errors
it has been like that since months,guess there is a lvl 4 DDOS going on at particular times every day
maybe staff members could give better explanation to what is going on

I thought for a while that it was just some sort of upstream congestion, but I've found that it is a very large UDP flood that is causing issues despite being blocked outside of the server. I will find some way of mitigating it.

theymos, just wanted to let you know that using UDP for denial-of-service attacks is not as straightforward as with the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). <either I became a genius overnight or I've been Googlin' my ass off again - your call>

I have been using bitcointalk most of the time these days and I am feeling the same that it is being slow time and again and another possible ddos might have hit the forum . Another thing I have observed is that the value of the bitcoin gets low when forum gets a ddos attack , which can be exploited for commercial values as well . Its just a guess however and I welcome the suggestions of the folks around here .
