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.

    From the youtube you attached I see you are using nginx. Maybe fail2ban with Nginx’s Limit Req Module could help?

    Need to configure nginx to limit the number of requests for IP addresses. Nginx will log info about banned IP into error log. fail2ban will parse nginx error log and ban offending IP addresses. easyengine.io/tutorials/nginx/fail2ban

    I hate cloudflare too…
