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.
I’m not a fan of Cloudflare either, but I will say the site is way faster updating than before the attack.
Ick, cloudflare. Hopefully we can find a better one that is more alligned with our values
Thanks for your work!
thanks based admin
lol, just days after this post about coralling rebels onto cloudflare: monero.town/post/3622853/5036178
is there a wider attempt at stymying monero’s grassroots ecosystem?
if so it seems to be mid-tier, not state-level. and it has been piecemeal, an exchange here and there, and the flood attack last month.
but the use of tor exploits is above the average schmo and as @gogr8 says someone was comitted. we must be doing something right!
wider attempt
For sure. Trocador, monerocom & haveno have also been hit. No idea why they would attack this tiny lemmy instance but I’ve learned a lot so I guess I should be grateful.
Thank you Admin for your work.
I confess, I was beginning to lose hope. 🫡
It’s still pretty broken on mobile and federation doesn’t work but it is a start :)
No reason to lose hope, I started this for ideological reasons and I won’t just stop now because of a DDoS.

can we have onion link without cloudflare but with PoW defense enabled?

This sounds very good.
