KiwiFlare

The site itself is working beautifully today (desktop, Brave, with VPN). But I finally managed to get chat to 429 out after opening 3 tabs in a row. They were all A&N articles, so it was all the same chat room.

The rest of the page still loaded, so that's an improvement over the last week when I was getting the whole page errored out with the same behavior.

8/10, would recommend Kiwiflare to a friend.
 
I imagine a future where Null’s kiwi flare is recognised as the superior retardation method, and it becomes net standard. Null becomes a billionaire, buys cloudflare HQ and turns it into a garden centre. He still runs the farms as a side hobby.
Seems to be working a bit smoother now anyway. Thanks for all you do
 
I'm on TOR and getting the odd 429 error and sometimes slow loading but mostly okay.
 
The performance issues have been completely rectified, as far as the user end is concerned. Exactly how it was with Cloudflare.

This is really exceptional work. I hope you expand KiwiFlare and allow other websites to utilize it's services. It would be an amazingly handy thing for a website to have a DDoS mitigation service that responds to controversy with a middle finger.
 
I keep getting errors when I try to reply to something, open up notifications, or react to something. Basically anything that isn't clicking a link to another page is struggling to function for me. Any reason this might be happening?

I had a few sporadic time outs earlier today with replies / reactions. That's it. Other than that I concur with others that the site is actually working faster. It's not placebo effect. I noticed it before I even saw this thread.

I have changed the rules so that no 403s should happen anymore. I don't know what I can do for 429s for people on bareback mobile or popular VPNs. I am really hurting to get IPv6 announced.
What's needed to get IPv6 out the door? And does that have any implications for privacy? I thought IPv6 was the "every device everywhere can have its own address out of the multi-billion now available" one.

Compared to the cost spent mitigating them it's effectively zero, which is why they're such a PITA to deal with. On the plus side Null's infra gets more battle hardened and he'll fetch a higher price if he ever decided to share his expertise.
I long for the day when I run a respectable and successful online business and can employ KiwiFlare for all my DDoS protection needs.
 
I just got a 503 error. Went away on refresh but hadn't seen that one before. On a VPN.
 
So tranny seething caused you to design your own ddos protection that after a bit of fine tuning is doing better than cloudflare (a $19 billion company) was doing before they bent the knee.

What does anyone actually do in tech? Everytime we lose some bloated corporation it is replaced by 1 determined null doing a better job.

Well one could make the argument Cloudflare is shit by design. Otherwise, how would bad actors with significant resources take down websites that were becoming organic alternatives to the controlled major vectors of the internet?
 
Had a few 429s yesterday, around 11 P.M. or so EDT, but only when I had multiple tabs open. Today, though, it's been fine.

"Don't like it? Build your own DDoS Mitigation." Wonder if the backbone ISPs will try to pull shit ever again and we can really pioneer the age of the little-i internets with the KiwiNet™.
