Anyone else finding things incredibly slow tonight?

[CookM]

Wifi good,5g,a total fail.
I have not used SD on mob data since the log in on dodgy sites business?

I would rather log in on SD btw.

Some dodgy stuff out there.

I a load of IP blocks hosted throughout the world yesterday that are owned by Shenzhen Tencent. They run an AI site, amongst other things, and they don't make it obvious they are bots that scrape our site so they appear as 'guests'. Hopefully this should slow them down a bit!

4,000 'guests', now down to 1,000 'guests':

And now at over 15k guests again, running really slow.



Bloody bots

It comes and goes when the bots scrape the site.

They've done their job now

What was the time they were here? It saves me trying to search through the logs!

It is so slow I am clearing out the cupboard under the stairs! And asking why is there a touch dial 'phone there that doesn't work? Well...it is in the bin now. But at least I've now found the soldering iron I last saw in 2024.

Earlier this evening I couldn't even get onto the site.
I thought it was my Virgin media BB being slow. Ran a speed test 126 up load. 26 down load. Couple of days ago up load was 76.
It's been poor all Xmas.

You gotta be quick when you use a Hik

You weren’t that quick - you let the other one leg it

I have had a close-ish look at the IP's on December 28th and they are a mishmash of IP's with no xyz.xyx.0.0, no ASNxxxx that I could see a regular number turning up, which is annoying. It is either a DDoS attack, an AI stealth visitation or the Chinese/A.N.Other doing all of the above, plus more. We might have to get our server hosts involved.

I should add, the December logs were 20GB long...

That's a decent number of requests logged!
What's a more normal size for a month?
