Still having a hard time getting in here sometimes. 50/50 chance. Portal button works better than recent posts button which almost never works. When it does it takes so long to load the page it sometimes times out...

I would love that.  

I've finally broken down and am in the middle of working with a security provider.  They are scanning the site atm.  I hope this helps to improve the uptime.

Quoted from PKCardinal
Can someone explain to me what the goal of a DDoS attack on a site like this is?

Is it just general jerkiness? Or, is there an actual point?


General jerkiness. And to show they can do it.  

Actually, it isn't a DDoS attack, it is a distributed brute force attack. Someone is trying to brute force crack my Word Press password. While I removed the login file, still having essentially several hundred pings per second to the site eventually slows it down long enough to bring it down.

In the past it was easy for me to just block a particular IP address or two or a country, but with VPNs and the shear number of zombie computers available, the hackers can bring several thousand different IPs to bear, more than I can keep track of.

A few years ago, I had an attack from Romania.  I just blocked the entire country, but down the attacks are coming from all over the world.



And the mods will probably delete this since it is off topic.

I'm not able to write any comments on front page articles. Is this to help stop the attacks?

The error I get is below if it helps.

I'm not getting an ad, Zack. But I'm still getting a lot of lag.

I've been going to the Portal page like Pia suggested instead of recent posts and things kick in a lot quicker.

It only happens when I try to access the discussion board from the home page. Maybe it's something on my end. I need a new computer. Lol

Mark,

Thanks for pointing this out.  Let me take a look.  I'm still figuring out the security software.

Don

Zack,

Next time you get an add, can you grab a screenshot?

Don - I just sent you a screenshot of the ad that popped up for me. From my phone, it occurs when going from homepage to the discussion board. It's never happened from a desktop or laptop.

j/k.  Thanks for the info.  I'll go see why Google is screwing me (probably my error).

Zack, (and John)

It does.  

I've made an adjustment to the template.  Let me know if you are still seeing the ad.  I don't need another screenshot.
