  • 🔧 Actively working on site again.
The mitigation on tor seems to be working, but I can't get a connection to the clearnet site.

edit: tor through VPN is giving usable performance. The clearnet site worked for a while but it's now back to being dogshit. I guess the attacks are still going.

Guess I'm hopping back onto Tor for the time being. Getting the above error with 502s. Just a few more days before the tugboat leaves port, I imagine.

There is an automated challenge on this page, but an error has prevented scripts from loading.

Ensure you are not blocking scripts from loading. If you are not, please notify us of this error.

I am not blocking scripts and even switched Brave Shields off just in case and get the above. Over on Brave Tor I keep losing the circuit and have to get a new connection.
 
Only issue that seems to be happening is uploading videos gets to 100% on clearnet and then never attaches. Images are fine just videos seem to be having issues unsure if its related.
This was driving me batshit yesterday. I made a shitpost video and every time I tried to attach it, it took 20+ minutes to get to 100%, would often shit itself before 100%, and would just be an empty attachment after reaching 100%. It eventually attached successfully though, after IDFK how many tries.
It would really help if the forum supported resuming uploads because as of now, you must upload the file in one go and if the connection breaks the upload fails entirely. Of course Xenforo is a piece of shit and won't be worked on but still.
 
yeah that error is when the nginx->scylla connection fails, which returns a check fail when it should cause nginx to just 500 error.
sorry, just for clarification. it's giving that because KiwiFlare is handling a lot of requests at the moment? cause that's what I assumed when I came to the thread
 
KiwiFlare is currently tanking about 65,000r/s.
IIRC ages ago you mitigated an attack by just configuring TLS support to only accept modern protocols and ciphers (TLS 1.3 only I think?), is that maybe something to look at again?

I'm assuming 65k reqs/sec are probably coming from a lot of compromised IoT devices, routers, etc. that wouldn't support the new shit and according to testssl, .pl is offering TLS 1.0 and newer.

If that's a metric that's easy to grab, maybe you could add it to the page header (or footer) so you don't have to update it manually and we know the site will be a bit jank.

(You know - when there's nothing else to fix ♥️)
