   FROGFIND UPDATE: Someone has been hammering the site with a scraper using rotating proxies that I can't block. It's pegging my server CPU at 100%. This has caused a service interruption.

   Working on solutions 😭

     @ActionRetro not sure what your config is, but it you turn on one of the Apache 2 rate limiting modules. If using Nginx then there limit request modules.

     @ActionRetro I’ve noticed a number of sites recently have been hit with attacks, targets which don’t really make much practical sense. IA being the most notable example, but it’s becoming pretty widespread.
     My guess would be that there are general AI-based location and attack tools finding servers with potential vulnerabilities, but why is still an open question.

     @ActionRetro This is bad news- FujiNet's working HTTP client (Apple2/Atari) depends on FF for any web retrieval. If you are still blocked I have some ideas (I did something simpler for my BBS).

     @dillera it should be back up now - i've filtered out the bad traffic (i think). is it possible to confirm?
