Title: Scheduled Maintenance - 06/28/13
Post by: Geekboy1011 on June 28, 2013, 03:53:54 pm
The server may have some down time tonight as I fix our IPTABLEs setup so I can properly block bots and ip's from the server with out having to log in to the AWS control panel.  Estimated down time should be at max 30 minutes (unless i really fubar something but that shouldn't happen...) The maintenance has no set time I will edit this when I have a set time I just know it will be tonight/very early morning (Think around 12:00am Gmt-5)

I blocked the offenders on the cloudflare side of things for now. I will still be fixing iptables though.

EDIT: I broke everything....going to try again tommorow...with the Cronjob set up PROPERLY <-- i feel like a tart yeah.....

Thank you- The management

Will there be some warning setup for those IPs in case of a false positive? For example, if the bot uses several thousand of IP addresses and a Chinese member happens to pass by (eg Deep Thought if he goes to China this Summer, Northern_Snow or Chickendude). That said, those people are used to using proxies so I guess they will probably do that by themselves, but just in case I guess. :P

I blocked the bots cloudflare side. i just hate messing with the cloudflare settings hence the want for iptables. So the current cause for lag is gone. I will have this setup eventually...just need to actually setup my cronscript correctly...(eg make it just set it to accept all....blah stupid stupid error)
