Has happened to me a couple times when I tab through the pages listing all the different subs too quickly. Last time was semi-permanent until your last maintenance outage. Started using a VPN a while ago, and all has been good since!
Blocked IPs aren't just dropped after their block time expired.
The ones that get caught again will get blocked, but the block time will increase exponentially.
This is to make sure attack botnets are kept at bay.
That's a good way to handle it.
lol Yeah, I can thank these kvetching kikes for giving a free real life test with their weekly DDoS attacks.
I've been able to fine tune the algorithm and these attacks are now pretty much ineffective. The only thing they do is slow down Poal's loading times by a little bit.
