Forum acting up again?
« on: August 26, 2025, 09:12:09 am »
Hi folks,

are we currently under attack again?

Had this week a few Gateway Timeouts when trying to reach
forum.lazarus.freepascal.org

Or does this has to do with the upgrade of the Server at freepascal.org (yes, i know: different server to here, but....)?

Sometimes it's really bad... gateway timeout and a few minutes later it's ok for a short while then  it's iffy again... rinse and repeat.

Same here. Between about 6:00 and 8:30 GMT+2 it was OK for a while.

Did some inconsiderate AI scraper bots decide to pay us a visit again? I remember seeing almost 2000 "guests" online yesterday...

When a lot of different IP blocks are user for scraping, it takes a while before those get blocked and things should calm down after a while
(unless those bots improved and another detection method needs to be added)
