Alright everyone, time for some real talk about BuckeyePlanet's future.

What I don't understand is why aren't we, or our hosting provider, doing any sort of basic filtering or blocking by IP address to prevent attacks? If you look at the members online list, at any given time there might be 15 or 20 registered members and over 100 guests. Those 100 guests are ALL foreign bad actors. 185.191.171.0/24 is a Russian RIPE network. 51.222.0.0/16 is a Russian RIPE network. That stuff needs to be thrown out at the router. And if the provider/host isn't willing to do it, we should be adding NULL routes to the server to send these requests to /dev/null.

I don't recall BP ever having that particular set of traffic before.

Odd?

Anyone want to chat on AOL?
