I wouldn't say that I've banned Linux users, but filtering out HeadlessChrome UAs. That's a version of chrome that has absolutely no GUI. Which generally translates to a bot/scraper. Unfortunately, todays event wasn't a good sign to see. Primarily due to how Anubis was being solved for some...

It would appear that there's a new round of ResiProxies + datacenters getting used by AI training bots. However, this one is very different compared to the previous iterations that I have observed. Apart from the another large slew of IP addresses hitting the server, I now have falsified...

The CSSWAF approach has a serious issue: https://github.com/yzqzss/csswaf/issues/5 - a botrunner can acquire a cookie, and apply that onto other clients/bot-machines and completely evade the process. Which is a big no-go when it comes to WAF's. You said something that is legitimately music to...

Fixed this issue by updating line 392 in Setup.php: $table->addColumn('upload_date', 'int', 10)->unsigned();

Oh, I seem to have skimmed over that when i was catching up on this thread. That unfortunate that such a feature is not offered on their cloud platform, no less the lack of being able to apply more extensible rules via .htaccess or the likes thereof. It operates in a similar fashion to how...

Over the past seven or so days, one of my sites was being request-flooded once again, random URLs being accessed - no correlation or sequence of pages accessed in a natural fashion. I was seeing around 50-100 r/s to just the URLs alone, especially when it's well below that on a daily basis...

Hi, when attempting to install the latest version, without any prior versions being installed, the install of this addon is failing. Exception: xf_cv6_custom_image: MySQL statement prepare error [4161]: Unknown data type: 'UINT' root@vm-mariadb:~# mariadb --version mariadb from 12.1.2-MariaDB...

Interesting! I'll have to give this a poke on a test environment in the near future. Seeing that there is some sort of module support for nginx ( https://docs.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinuxos/cloudlinux_os_components/#nginx-lsapi-module ), that'll make for a very interesting pairing. Granted, the...

Looking at various header information, among other items, DIYSolarForum.com has the following: Is a dedicated or colocated server (or group of servers), does not appear to be on a VPS or cloud hosted machine/network. Hosted on GigeNET (this is such an old named provider in Chicago - they're...

As for user sentiment: The only complaint that I have encountered thus far is "the check took about 40 seconds to complete on my mobile, but was done in a 20ish seconds on my laptop". However, that was the same day that I implemented it and was using an elevated challenge difficulty level of 6...

You can configure it to do just about anything on the security checks, with who is and will not be checked, or how stringent the security check will be against clients on X or Y CIDR blocks. Configuration file is a top-down-FIFO style with what is checked/actioned. If a rule declaration is not...

The one particular site in question does not utilize XenForo, as it is a game combat parser website, with an easy two to three million subpages (probably more, I've never really counted the true totals) of raw numerical data and charts spanning a bit more than a decade now. In its heyday, the...

Yeah, no denying the old-schoolness to it. The base functionality to it works though. One of the larger issues i'm coming up with is dragging tabs in or out of the split view. I do find it useful when messing about with CSS/templating, or quick access between sites. Additionally, I just don't...

A lot of companies intentionally do not utilize Cloudflare (or other like-typed providers) for varying reasons. Be it legal, privacy, datamining concerns, company decision, network stack 'issues', existing infrastructure already handles the needs, or even financial burden. There is nothing wrong...

While poking about with smilies on my development/internal forum recently, I uploaded...... more than 2000 (!) icons to a new category. Which got me curious about something... what's the item export limit? Turns out, the smiley exporter is limited to 1000 items due to a php configuration...
