    Vero, you were probably caught in a rate limit installed while fighting the DDoS attack. No one picked you out specifically.

    Works now from usual IP subnet.

    You were experiencing DDoS?

    Yes, a fairly large DDoS that took some tweaking to get our rules in order to bring it down.

  • Seems like an ongoing DDOS, had a couple of very slow responses which ended in 504s from Cloudflare.

    Correct.

  • verovero Member, Host Rep

    Yes, something serious is going on. Come on, BB nation, bring it back.

    Looks to be toned down for now. Unfortunately some annoying cloudflare pages will need to remain for awhile. Apologies.

    Love it, posting on LET asking if LET is down.

  • What may be the reason behind the DDOS attacks? Random bots?

    WHT got jealous and wanted their members back?

    Jonny Nguyen's revenge?

  • Please set the rate limits at least a bit higher. It's almost impossible to use the site properly.

    Same. Sometimes i got CF ban message doing nothing (just waiting for the page loading).

  • verovero Member, Host Rep

    And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
    And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
    . . .
    Red lights, stop signs
    I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
    Can't drive past the places we used to go to
    'Cause I still fuckin' love you, LET (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

    Total outage. I can’t access LET at all right now.

  • deankdeank Member, Troll

    CF has banned me. I cannot access LET.

    Stupid people don't sit on LET, they run countries.

    Edit. Macron is ok.

    When will this DDoS stop

    We were getting hundreds of thousands of page requests per minute that were switching between dozens of ASNs (including AWS, Google, etc), tens of thousands of IP addresses, hitting different paths and posts on the site, etc. This required some aggressive filtering to block and ease the attack off.

    Apologies to all of those negatively affected by this, ultimately the goal is to keep the site online for a vast majority of our users, which our rules were effective at. Our rate limits did have some false positives which should be falling off within 1-60 minutes, depending on how many requests were received from your IP address.

    Please update us here if any new false positives occur and we'll tweak the settings. Additionally, we will be slowly easing off rules to get everything back to normal. We are still seeing the attackers probe for attack vectors that work however so we can't pull everything back at this time.

    Not sure who that is? I'm part of the background team that works on the site.
