| tyreth | GeofftheMedio? | 23:16 |
| GeofftheMedio | so, there were about 12 continuous connections form 124.110.0.* on the forums that never registered and never did anything, and which stayed there for hours and hours | 23:17 |
| GeofftheMedio | after googling and finding various references to this ip on the web (spidered forums at the right time with publically viewable ip lists mostly) | 23:17 |
| GeofftheMedio | I banned the ip range | 23:17 |
| tyreth | Ok. You can often do a whois on an IP address | 23:18 |
| GeofftheMedio | I did. it's apparently not assigned..? | 23:18 |
| GeofftheMedio | anyway, now when going to freeorion.org, I get: | 23:18 |
| GeofftheMedio | User tzlaine_4 has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections [1203] | 23:18 |
| tyreth | Assigned to japan it seems | 23:18 |
| GeofftheMedio | most sites seem to think it's from australia | 23:19 |
| GeofftheMedio | so... somehow the ip ban made things worse? | 23:19 |
| GeofftheMedio | or maybe the bots are just repeatedly trying to access the forum pages, whereas previously they took the time to parse the reply? | 23:19 |
| tyreth | Well, I can't load the wiki, but you would have only banned the IP on the forums, correct? | 23:19 |
| GeofftheMedio | yes | 23:20 |
| tyreth | So it's not your banning | 23:20 |
| GeofftheMedio | but presumably the max allowed connections is shared for the account | 23:20 |
| GeofftheMedio | it did take about 5 min from the ban to not access possible | 23:20 |
| tyreth | that's a mysql error I think, too many database connections | 23:20 |
| GeofftheMedio | right... but isn't the wiki and the forums both run on mysql? | 23:21 |
| tyreth | Yes, but different servers, so not sure why they're both failing | 23:21 |
| tyreth | In fact, I can't even log into the user account on the website host's site | 23:21 |
| tyreth | So maybe it's their issue | 23:21 |
| GeofftheMedio | when the host took the site down due to wiki spam, the forums went down as well, didn't they? | 23:23 |
| tyreth | Yes | 23:23 |
| tyreth | Does https://my.pair.com load for you? | 23:23 |
| tpb | Title: pair Networks - World Class Web Hosting - Account Control Center (at my.pair.com) | 23:23 |
| GeofftheMedio | the site loads | 23:23 |
| tyreth | actually, it's a different url sorry, ignore that | 23:24 |
| GeofftheMedio | hard to ingore such attractive and dynamic professionals enjoying their world class web hosting... | 23:24 |
| tyreth | Just try your best :) I've sent a support request off | 23:25 |
| GeofftheMedio | where did you get a whois for japan? | 23:27 |
| GeofftheMedio | searching at http://www.arin.net/whois/ gives me "Asia Pacific Network Information Centre" with a comment saying the address isn't assigned. | 23:28 |
| tpb | Title: ARIN: WHOIS Database Search (at www.arin.net) | 23:28 |
| GeofftheMedio | Country: AU | 23:28 |
| GeofftheMedio | StateProv: QLD | 23:28 |
| GeofftheMedio | City: Milton | 23:28 |
| tyreth | website's working now | 23:44 |
| tyreth | not sure why | 23:44 |
| GeofftheMedio | my just-banned ip seems to be gone from the list | 23:46 |
| GeofftheMedio | possibly due to it being past the time I limited the ban to | 23:48 |
| GeofftheMedio | ... which might explain why the site it back up | 23:48 |
| GeofftheMedio | perhaps I shouldn't re-ban just yet? | 23:48 |
| GeofftheMedio | or perhaps we should submit a bug report to the phpbb people, where banning a distributed attack ip range brings down the server...? | 23:49 |
| GeofftheMedio | checked: my ban was at 8:13 for half an hour | 23:49 |
| GeofftheMedio | it's 8:51 now | 23:49 |
