Ausfall der Nameserver

[Grüne Gurken]

Aufgrund von Ausfällen bei unserem DNS-Provider (afraid.org) ist das Forum sporadisch bzw. überhaupt nicht über die allseits bekannt URL "gmod.de" erreichbar.

Neben gmod.de sind außerdem alle von Garry gehosteten Seiten betroffen:

• garry.tv
• facepunch.com
• garrysmod.com
• garrysmod.org

Um das Problem zu beheben hat LoC bereits den DNS-Provider vorübergehend gewechselt.
Die Domain gmod.de wird aber erst in ca. einem Tag wieder erreichbar sein, da die DNS-Einträge gecacht werden.

Bis dahin könnt ihr das Forum über die URL: http://78.46.141.1/ erreichen.

Edit: Einige Bilder werden nicht geladen. Diesen Fehler bitten wir zu entschuldigen.

Statement vom Provider:

2010-07-16 09:11:42
freedns.afraid.org is currently experiencing unexpected levels of traffic this AM, sorry for any inconvenience.

Edit (16.07.2010 | 20:12]): Facepunch.com kann über http://78.109.183.180 erreicht werden

DNS-Fehler, schlimmsten Fehler.
Als ob jeder Mensch seinen Namen vergessen hätte.

Weiß zufällig jemand die ip von garrysmod.org?

Die DNS-Server funktionieren anscheinend wieder.

..Oder auch nicht....

Neue Informationen von Afraid.org

2010-07-16 15:03:46
A user of afraid.org had a domain that around 7:30 AM PST came under attack, with many gigabits of malicious traffic at its peak directed to all afraid.org DNS servers. The attack is still in progress at the time of this writing, but has been reduced significantly.

While attacks are not that unusual for afraid.org, they are generally not this large as today.

Unfortunately - this exhausted every ounce of resource available for afraid.org, and caused serious disruption for the site afraid.org, and for innocent bystanders sites that are also using afraid.org for their own sites.

So, after today's eventful morning, I will be taking further measures to protect users by increasing the available nameserver pool size from 4, to at minimum 64, and begin allocating configurations to members in a way that minimizes overlapping configurations as much as possible.

Over time I have observed that much of the human based problematic events such as this one comes from (a relatively small set of) unpaid members, it is a sad truth. I will not stop providing the free portion of the service, but I am strongly leaning toward moving paid members to their own tier of servers.

While afraid.org has not had a problem of this kind in a while, I'm going to reflect on this event and take measures to make the site better because of it.
