    Texas here, down as well. Vps that I had paid up for a while is still up. DDOS maybe.

  • No DDOS, can ping server. Webserver stop

  • Down in California. VPS in Chicago still up, though.

    Looks like public facing IPs are taking a beating.

    Their server they use for emails is down but old VPS servers I had with them are responsive to ping.

  • Our webserver is on the receiving end of a sizable DDoS attack, which has affected a few other services hosted alongside it. Client services are not affected. We're doing what we can to get things sorted out ASAP.

    Someone really doesn't like you guys. What is that 3 times in the last month someone's ran a DDOS on it? Kids these days.

    Is it all SYN by chance?

    The attack has abated, at least for the moment. The main website and client portal should be fully accessible. Apologies to anyone who was trying to get support requests in during the attack.

    @Franciso Yes, 100% SYN -- look familiar to you?

    I won't name names unless they give the go ahead but a VPS company on here that uses our filtered IP's got a ~120,000 pps SYN flood (around 90Mbit/sec solid of pure SYN) earlier today. It was large enough that we've said screw it are upgrading to a much larger SYN protection plan.

    It's sad people abuse the openness of the internet, on top of potentially costing companies revenue in loss sales, downtime etc... it's also giving a lot of fuel for governments to remove that freedom. Script kiddies who flood think that having the ability gives them power, but they're mistaken.

    Yup.

    The FBI doesn't have enough man power/fucks to give to chase down booters and such.

    It means the people that can provide filtering will make bank. My hope is that the big filtering companies auto send abuse emails to hosts of obvious compromised boxes. I know the setup ev1servers had back in the day did that :)

    Was it GetKVM.net? Did they get hacked?

    That's what their homepage currently is.

    Edit: nvm. Their website is getkvm.com

    I never meet SAD pony lover :( All of them seems happy. Have you contancted him/her?

    Or a company owner who fling packets your way, using another company's service, because they think it's funny and they cannot comprehend why it was wrong.

  • @liam said: why do you use a pobox now?

    Why not?
    It is more effective and ensures no one comes to visit you, many large companies do that as well.

  • And it's not a POBox, it's an actual street address :P

    Oh I thought that anti-DDOS was only for the VPSes you sell...didn't know you were offering it as a general anti-DDOS service.

  • shunnyshunny Member

    @concernednetizen chill, they may still be getting DDOSd. At least the VPS is still fine.

  • Awmusic12635Awmusic12635 Member, Host Rep

    @raindog308 I think he meant someone had their billing panel/site hosted with them on filtered IP's, since they offered to protect others panels earlier.

  • Interesting, anyone else suffering from DDoS in the last time?
    We have it weekly on our main site (mostly SYN/UDP/HTTP flood) and sometimes the hosting system.

  • flyfly Member

    vps6.net still loading super slowly eh?

  • LESLES Member

    Still not loading for me.

  • netomxnetomx Moderator, Veteran

    who can DDoS this long?

  • jarjar Patron Provider, Top Host, Veteran

    Site was up shortly after Jeremy posted. Ran fine for a while, I logged in a few times last night toying around with one of the 128's I had paid for 6 months. This DDOS trend is going to fuel heavy legislation or incredible innovation. Let's hope for the second. It's become far too easy and far too common.
