DDoS Attack May 12, 2021

AtWar is currently under DDoS attack again. The site was unavailable for a short time early this morning (around 5:30 AM my timezone -- US Pacific time), but is back now.

There will be some captchas to solve for the next few days, or however long until the DDoSer gives up. Sorry about that, but its what we all have to do.

Will keep you posted on this thread about any updates.

Dave is it possible to deploy to linux and use an open source reverse proxy with several smaller servers? Would AW app architecture allow for that?

God I wish we could. But no, the whole atWar backend is built on Microsoft tech stack. So we're stuck on Windows Server for now. And atWar was never designed to scale. We can offload certain things to other servers (and I have), but the main service is not designed to run on multiple servers -- it just sits on one huge ass Windows Server.

My goal is to rewrite the backend using all open source tech which would run on linux and which would support multiple servers. Imagine being able to spin up new servers automatically based on demand!

I've been slowly working on this, just haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to it yet. As of right now it's still a long way off. Someday....

Turn the frontend into the backend then the backend into the frontend

It's so simple, it might actually work!

Completely support Sean's idea.

zoro (crow) is in action, again.

On the old server I'd totally believe 12-15 users from reddit at the same time would have been enough to knock it offline

This time we got hit with literally millions of requests... just to prove I'm not making it up:



Today we were very popular with Russia and China in particular:

Did we have any North Korean visitors in last days? Zoe was saying around he bought a North Korean IP

I'm afraid it might be c#.
