DDoS Protection Implemented by the Forum

Recommended Posts

Is it just me, or the forum already enabled DDoS protection/detection while accessing the forums?

 

I recently noticed that once in a while, it scans my browser first before loading a specific webpage in the forum. It seems like they have implemented such because last night (GMT+8), I noticed a slowdown and some downtime in the forum.

 

And the server slowdown is odd, since we are only at 75,000+ members and growing, while comparing it to Bitcointalk, which has over 2.7 million registered users (though only sub-1k users online), doesn't experience the same slowdown.

 

For those who didn't know about DDoS, in simplest words, it is an attack by a network of high number of computers (called botnet) that accesses a site at the same time, making the traffic of data heavy, which could eventually bring the server down, or at least slow down the loading times.

It seems like the forum is now making use of Cloudflare now, and they did it without announcing it, apparently. I have a slower internet connection so I can see the "Cloudflare website redirecting" browser display thingie while navigating this forum every now and then. Having protection here is a good thing, especially now that this forum is becoming more and more well-known, and the hackers are on the prowl.

Yesterday I saw a post made by another user that the site was slowing down, he said that he tried using other devices and fixing his internet but the site was still slow I guess this would be the cause for the slow down then and just today I have been experiencing a bit of slow down to so I switched to my mobile data thinking that was the problem, I guess it really is DDos being implemented on the site.

Oh no! so does this mean that hackers can take over this website and collet our data? I don't really understand it that much. Is there anyway we can do to stop this? I did notice it, but I thought it was just my phone or the internet connection.

Read the article linked to the original post.

 

And no, hackers won't get your data. It's just an attempt to slow down the website.

No. YoBit and Cryptotalk are separate. Just secure your YoBit account and you'll be safe.

DDos protection is just a way to slow down bots who are abusing the system. So unless you are accessing this site from TOR you won't see a difference in browsing this site. If you're using TOR you might get a recaptcha to solve, that's all.

 

Bitcointalk doesn't use any javascript whatsoever so the server load for it is pretty light.


Why are you looking for another faucet in signatures like mine, cryptotalk is the best earnings site. 😉

Do you know more secure ways to protect my btc? 

If you have your own handled wallet, never give out your private key.

 

If however, you have hot wallets, such as those online and in exchanges (like YoBit), just don't give up login credentials on sketchy websites.

Most Users should have no problems,none.

The DDoS  simply want to control traffic, among which are real users and bot users who basically try to congestion.

I did not like that, but with the expansion of the forum, we will expect major attacks to try to bring it down, nothing will be done because the platform is the one that pays us, but such a procedure is a wonderful thing that increases the credibility of the forum.

yesterday I experienced it, where when I opened this forum I still could, then when I sent a post, there was a delay and there the statement was an error. but it only happened a few minutes, but repeated every time I made a post. I don't think it's a connection problem, because the web page changes immediately to the error message and can't receive feedback. if the connection error, surely the writing is an unreachable or offline server. has anyone experienced it?

Now I know that some slow loading of the site and Error 505 is problem of the forum and not my device so thank you for this. Is this Error can be fix permanently? Is any danger or future problems may occur?

Apparently there is also a Captcha check if you are trying to start threads. I noticed this when trying to post a topic to the forum just now. While I agree that this has stopped spammers and bots for the most part by forcing them to solve captchas, I wonder if this new change is strictly limited to topic threads and not comments.

I also see the DDoS protection when I experience some errors on this forum. I usually see it when the wesite was starting to get slower. I think it makes the website more secured because of DDoS protection.

Cloudflare is a good DDos protection, it keeps the site ups even when under attack. But the downside is there are times that people ip's get block by the firewall and slowsdown webpage loading for dirty ip's

This is a good initiative taken by the team of the forum. The team added the DDos protection in to the forum. So, the forum becomes more secure for using. And it is also difficult to hack the server of the forum. So this is a good thing

Forum must definitely have enable good ddos protection. When he was still not very popular, there no attempts to destroy him. Now there are many bad hackers and we must have protection.

I found it normal and it more like they are trying to avoid unnoticed or unwanted attack to their users.

    • Hello, friends, I wanted to alert you all about my recent experience with an airdrop group named @Airdrop_Fam. Initially, everything seemed legitimate. They requested an advance payment for their services, which I thought was standard procedure. However, the situation took a turn for the worse when they began demanding additional funds to publish a post. When I resisted their sudden and unexpected demand, communication came to an abrupt halt; they completely ignored my messages. The person behind this scheme is the admin of the group, known as @Airdrop_FAM_Admin. At first, this individual appears cooperative and friendly, but don't be deceived – it's all a facade to extort more money from you. Please, I urge everyone to be cautious and steer clear of @Airdrop_Fam. The group is a sham, filled with no genuine participants. The admin is a charlatan through and through. Don't let yourself be their next victim! Stay safe and always do thorough research before engaging with such groups

    • Майнер криптовалюты Hut 8 Corp опубликовал отчет о своих результатах за последние шесть месяцев. Согласно пресс-релизу компании , Hut 8 увеличила выручку до $60,6 млн за шесть месяцев, закончившихся 31 декабря 2023 года. Основные показатели финансовой отчетности Hut 8 включают увеличение выручки на 32% и значительное увеличение чистой прибыли до $6,2 млн по сравнению с к предыдущему чистому убытку. Стоимость майнинга биткойнов ( BTC ) составила 18 815 долларов США, и за этот период компания добыла 1244 биткойна. Стоимость энергии Hut 8 за МВтч составила 44,52 доллара США, что отражает эффективность управления затратами на электроэнергию. Биткойн укрепляет активы Hut 8 Сила баланса компании очевидна в ее активах в биткойнах : по состоянию на 31 декабря 2023 года 9 195 биткойнов оценивались примерно в 388,1 миллиона долларов. Эта база активов обеспечивает Hut 8 значительную рыночную стоимость и потенциал для будущих доходов. Биткойн демонстрирует устойчивый рост с начала года после того, как спотовые биткойн- ETF в США привлекли в биткойн институциональных и розничных инвесторов. С начала года первая и до сих пор лидирующая криптовалюта в мире подорожала на 60%, а в начале марта BTC обновил свой исторический максимум, поднявшись выше $70 000. Кроме того, рыночная капитализация Биткойна превысила 1,4 триллиона долларов, что сделало самую ценную криптовалюту восьмым по величине активом в мире, обогнав серебро.
