Post dealing with changes to how we route packets and configure our network.

Project Network Usage: 07-30 through 08-28

Accounting has been finished up for the month. This post will share the details of our network usage broken down by day and which part of our projects used the network. This report does not show individual member, guest or end user usages. Only combined network usages are shown here.

Physical Network Interface:
Traffic for the physical interface shows a combined view of all project traffic, including nightly backs; games; member, guest and end user traffic and internal traffic.

Hosted Services:
Traffic for hosted services includes things such as DayZ, Minecraft and FiveM.

Name Servers:
Name server traffic includes DNS traffic that is dropped at the interface and not processed.

Name Servers

We added stats to our website for the two name servers. You can now view incoming request, RTT and VM stats for the last 48 hours.

Also, While we have started dropping request for a handful of ‘.pirate’ and ‘.libre’ domains, as well as dropping request for ‘isc.org’, the request flood is still ongoing but has backed off to about half of the volume it was earlier this week. Two of the volunteers on our team are keeping an eye on things.

Name servers seeing an attack 🫠

I just fixed these guys…why must y’all make a mess of the sandbox?

For the time being, we are not answering queries to isc.org cause someone is trying to use us as part of an attack.
