pool just went dead and kano.is is down. Everything all right?
Nope, a ddos happening ...
Kano - will the site be using an anti-DDOS solution like Cloudflare. The DDOS seems frequent now? Thanks
It already does use an anti-DDoS solution, just it both cases it hasn't fallen within the boundaries of solving the problem quickly.
Todays was, as I said:
According to the data centre, it was too small to trigger the base DDoS protection so until they manually intervened it was successful.
The DDoS itself was about 40 minutes.
The previous one lasted for for 45 minutes
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13355153So for both of those, I don't see any different DDoS "solution" doing much better.
I will be setting up some other options soon to reduce the effect on most miners
The previous one to that (September 24) was a data centre attack, not directed at the pool itself, and very large.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789369.msg12508163;topicseen#msg12508163so any 'other' solution would have made no difference.
Cloudflare is NOT a mining DDoS solution.
Adding (large) latency to mining (more rejected shares for everyone and more orphans) is not a good idea.
Maybe a silly idea, but maybe a user whitelist fail-over or something? Not that i would know what i'm talking about, but i reckon some users being able to mine on a private url/whitelist if they sent a PM, the pool was being blackmailed/ddos'd.
Not 100% if it was this pool or Nasty Club.
