Title: DDOS Attack
Post by: RC Storick on February 21, 2020, 03:35:03 PM

It' taken me over a few hours to sort out this issue. But I am in the process of blocking bot IP. address but there are around 6000. So I'm still working on it. Seems the attack came from Africa and China. So until further notice, the site is only open to members. I hate closing the site down to guests but with the hackers and scammers that is what needs to be done. When you log in just check the box to stay logged in.

I'm glad that you know what to do.


Evidently, Leonard didn't.

Wow, Sparky,

Back to running at top speed.  As if it was a combat match with roaring engines, as opposed to a more graceful stunt display.

Thanks a million,

Peter

If you know a member in the Asian/Pacific area the IP range found for all the trouble is 114.0.0.0/8  114.0.0.0    114.255.255.255  and has been blocked off the server I wish there were not so many dirtbags B@B

One more thing. Some computers are not disconnecting on close. If I see a guest (and only a guest) Logged in and hung I will be disconnecting them from the server temporally. You have no idea what a pain this is but for the enjoyment of the MASS that's how it goes. So if your using Stunt Hangar, be sure to log in.
