DDOS Attack 1/17/2022 - Raion - 01-17-2022

Of course, had to happen on the day my internet isn't working reliably and I'm sick with some kind of throat bug. 

We're currently experiencing a DDOS. It is a minor intensity one, and I managed to block the major IPs causing it. I'm monitoring the attack as closely as I can. 

This is why we went down when I was asleep I presume.

The "Under Attack" Mode and Cloudflare DNS routing is active. This will keep active until the DDOS passes. If things change, I'll let everyone know.

I apologize for anyone affected by the Captcha, I hate it too.

I didn't see a captcha just a very brief "browser check" page that disappeared almost faster than I noticed it.

The attack seems to be winding down so I'm going to be taking it off cloudflare routing. Some people with old browsers were probably unable to access the site during this time and I apologize for that

I took it off Cloudflare and no signs of further DDOS have been found. I sincerely hope, this does not set the tone for this year.

Appreciated, Raion!
