[SOLVED] Leporis is down

[Staff 9972]

Hello!

Leporis, although up and running, has suddenly lost connectivity with large parts of the Internet. We are investigating.

UPDATE: Leporis is under a DDoS attack and the provider was rightly forced to null-route the targeted IP address. We will keep you posted.

UPDATE: Leporis is up.

Kind regards

Who are those people who would attack your servers, what do they want? And isn't it incredibly difficult to perform a DDOS these days? Don't you need like thousands of computers for it to work?

Anyhow, nice that Castor came back

Hello!

The recent attacks against the good old Draconis and the new Leporis are performed by some entity with good capacities (>3.5 Gbit/s flood, >50000 flows/s) and that also knows the entry-IP of our VPN servers (so they have been lurking in the website or subscribed to the service - not difficult for free trials, discussions in the forum etc.) . These attacks are outside the reach of most entities so we highly doubt they can be capable to bring down more than one server at a time, unless there's some very big entity behind them (very unlikely). Even in this case, the attackers were not able to sustain the attack for more than 20 minutes. Currently Leporis is ok, but we'll bring it back online at due time.

And yes, Castor is back.

Kind regards
