Default Server Timeouts

I’m experiencing quite a lot of non-responses just from AFF the last day or two. Anyone else finding the same?

Nup, not experienced here, cb. Just the usual slow network at work, but that's applicable to all apps/sites.

We did have a DDOS attack yesterday (twice) but that was resolved by mid morning.
Server loads have been a bit higher than normal this afternoon 4.63 (1 min) 6.36 (5 mins) 15.25 (15 mins) but nothing like the 6-70 they were yesterday - beyond about 55 it becomes unusable. Mind you, normal loads are < 5 and it's back down to 4.2 now.

Yes there were a couple of lighter attempts yesterday evening but the automated processes in place caught most of them although even dealing with them takes server resources.

Here's what we saw statistically (24 hours to midnight last night):
Attempts to use known hacks by 29255 hosts were logged 39112 times

Status for the jail: sshd
- Currently failed: 71
- Total failed: 220218
Actions
- Currently banned: 120
- Total banned: 44210

Those numbers are sobering, especially if one is inclined to believe they come from a fairly select range of sources. Thanks for staying on top of it.

Yes. We had another 12k attempts this last 12 hours and while we get about 30% of them, they are rotating random IP addresses to avoid enough hits to be auto-blocked. I've just extend the time they remain blocked and reduced the number of consecutive attempts that triggers the block so we'll see how that goes.

The 10 minute outage just now was my fault. I enabled another one of the fail2ban checks without excluding the server local IP address which means it banned itself for 10 minutes so sorry about that!

I wonder if discussion about a certain manufacturer from a certain country that has a different political system from Australia is dragging in the flies.
