Monero.town getting DDoSed
youtu.be
On 2024-07-02 at about 6:00 pm UTC the small monero.town lemmy instance started going down over and over again. Turns out, it has been DDoSed via tor exit no...

For the last couple of days we were offline due to a DDoS attack originating from Tor.

We are now behind cloudflare (💀) but at least we are online.

We might switch to a different CDN in the future.

    thanks based admin

    lol, just days after this post about coralling rebels onto cloudflare: https://monero.town/post/3622853/5036178

    is there a wider attempt at stymying monero’s grassroots ecosystem?

    if so it seems to be mid-tier, not state-level. and it has been piecemeal, an exchange here and there, and the flood attack last month.

    but the use of tor exploits is above the average schmo and as @gogr8 says someone was comitted. we must be doing something right!

      wider attempt

      For sure. Trocador, monerocom & haveno have also been hit. No idea why they would attack this tiny lemmy instance but I’ve learned a lot so I guess I should be grateful.
