Status: Rate limiting DNS queries #63

Open funilrys opened 4 months ago

funilrys commented 4 months ago

Hello everyone,

as our DNS servers are being used as part of a DDoS attack, we decided to put some rate limit on our DNS servers. Normal users shouldn't be affected (AFAIK), but if something is not working as expected, please leave a comment below.

To protect ourselves, we decided not to share our rate limit (yet), but be assured, that it has been decently configured to avoid disruption for valid users.

P.S.: This change was rolled out a few minutes ago, because of the emergency of the situation.

Update: We temporarily shutdown both servers until we reinforce our defense.

Stay safe and healthy! Nissar / aka Fun Ilrys
