The DNS propagation process is not always fast, and is almost completely out of our control. It can take up to a few days to complete, mostly because ISPs often cache DNS data; the same thing can happen to your house router or PCs, so you might be connecting from a location where at some point there is a DNS cache in place.

Thanks for your reports, everybody.

Wow !...tat guy must be a pro to be able to launch such attacks on yr web wif such ferosity....tink maybe we all noe who he/she may be....

Tks so much, boss, for yr explanation...we shd be better prepared for the next wave of attacks when it next comes...Cheers !

A bit slow compared to the usual operation because I've disabled 3 servers and consolidated the forum on one in order to make it easier to filter the ddos attack.

Come Tuesday I'll have a brand new server in place which is twice as powerful as the one I'm using now.

There is also some latency caused by the fact that the ddos defense requires the traffic to be routed through a 3rd party filter. However, I'm implementing a powerful and better hardware solution soon and the latency should gone.

hi sammyboyfor

i also face this problem and it is becoming intermittent. during the night time this would be nearly impossible to log into the various sub fourm. this have been happening about since 3 to 4 days ago since this week.

I was a bit frustrated not being able to log-in but thanks, hope it's ok from now on. Anyway about changing of PW, is it genuine? Is it a hoax to steal pw? Thanks.
