Vbulletin.org site down?

[funinthesun]

Yesterday I couldn't log on at all. The page just wouldn't open? Any ideas why? :confused:

[Xenon]

i got a ton of emails, that the server couldn'T connect to the db.

no problem of vb.org itself, more a global problem...

Yer its been happeneing again today, on and off.

I tried to open www.vbulletin.org as well and the page just kept timing out. I have no idea why it wouldn't open?

[Xenon]

we're under attack during the last days (ok more vb.com instead of us, but we're at the same server)

tell those idiots to stop their attacks ;)

(the guys on vb.com are working on the issue)

Do they have a firewall on the server?

[Xenon]

yep, of course

but Ddos attacks are hard to block instead of normal "break in" attacks

Maybe they need to get a hardware router/firewall. My router blocks DOS and other kinds of attacks automatically.

[Xenon]

well, it's not that easy

have a few thousand computers connect to your router, and it will always have a problem ^^
