Server Bot hammering
« on: May 24, 2026, 09:37:33 AM »
Hello all,
We are currently being hammered by many, many bots - today for example:
Most Online Today: 20079. Most Online Ever: 20079 (Today at 02:47:29 AM)

The server is coping well and right now I'm not planning any mitigating actions, but will keep an eye on it to see how it goes.

Cheers,
Stu.

I guess the bots have switched their focus from WXForum.net to you, Stu. 

I had to engage CloudFlare (free) to mitigate the attacks .. keep that in the back of your mind in case the bots get too onerous.

Best of luck,
Ken
