Last night we saw a significant PHP overload from 11:15 onwards exhausting memory resources and CPU. This PHP overload stemmed from 20,000 HTTPS requests originating primarily from the XenForo forum hosted on our website. From looking at the high volume we can see these seemed to be distributed...

Have you got the forum running through Cloudflare? Just a suggestion if you have, try turning off Cloudflare caching before you make the changes and see if that helps. If it does clear the cache data and turn CF caching back on

I can't seem to replicate it so I wonder if it only relates to a post where someone has the poster on ignore and is watching the forum to where the post is being moved to If it happens again I'll let you know

... as in being moved to a thread that no longer exists ?

Hi, I have both the 'Ignore Content' and 'Search Improvements' add-on and since the last update to Search Improvements I am getting this error: Code: Server error log TypeError: Truonglv\IgnoreContent\App::isIgnored(): Argument #2 ($contentId) must be of...

FileZilla for the win

With @digitalpoint 's App for Cloudflare there is a drop down for various security settings with Cloudflare, including UAM .... Ours is set to 'High' One thing I did find is that when we were under attack I had to enable UAM from within Cloudflare as I couldn't access the XF ACP to do so...

We've been pretty much steady away since the last attack, five/six days ago...

Last night we peaked at 5.5m unique visitors

I think its also a case of perspective, the larger forums being hit the hardest as more content for the bots to scrape through. We have in excess of 3.5million posts, as an example.

We tend to have approx 500 or so genuine guests in our busy periods. Our VPC can handle 15000, the maximum was 36,000 but its not so the number of guests its the amount of server hits they are making. From what I've found, the demand on our VPC goes ballistic when the guest count rises above...

We've been hit again last night and into this morning, so UAM engaged again. Is Xenforo doing something different as I noticed theyve switched UAM off and arent exeperiencing issues?

We've been running fine since I last posted to this thread but yesterday got hit with a massive attack that resulted in an error 522, and max'd out our resources.

Do as I say, not do as I do

Under Attack Mode ~ Quite a common abbreviation to Cloudflare users
