[Carl Hibbard]

There are some forum speed issues as somebody is using okhttp against us but hopefully it should improve in time.

I've seen this a few times in the last 24 hours:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Too many connections [1040]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

[Carl Hibbard]

Yes this is a deliberate denial of service job.

[Carl Hibbard]

Problems are still ongoing.

I will be taking some action over the next few days since I am now at home so there might be further disruption.

[Carl Hibbard]

That outage was me.

[Carl Hibbard]

Me again - that should be the last until Monday now.

[Carl Hibbard]

Still a work in progress this we were probably down for a time there?

[Mick Norris]

Hi carl, yes intermittent problems over the last few days

[Carl Hibbard]

For now changes are complete.

[Carl Hibbard]

Still problems it appears somebody is destroying the site using "okhttp/4.10.0" coming rather heavily from an AWS block of servers.
