"The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later."

Confirmed, I also got the down alert, we were under heavy leaching from bots once more.
This time I added their whole ip range into my protection system

[RCK]

Tonight I added ClaudeBot to global server blacklist, this one was pretty agressive, and not only on abime.net it seems

[RCK]

I just switched my semi manual nginx blocking system to UBBB.
Let's see how it perform against bad bots

again "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later."

I'm monitoring this heavily, it was Claudebot who was coming back, I fine tune the settings againt to limit his impact

eab seems to hav massive issues tosay. since hours i cant reach eab anymore using normal adsl internet at home. firefox cant connect and chrome says ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE or something. only mobile internet can reach eab. and typing/reading on phone almost impossible...

[honx]

according to my provider im ip blocked here at eab.abime.net - im NOT a bot!
my ip adress is 78.142.74.185 according to whatismyipaddress.com and whatismyip.net

[honx]

i also cant get eab working on my dsl if try using any proxy in browsers. either extreme slow, making forum unusable or eab.abime.net doesnt load at all. so how can i access eab now that my ip is blocked here? how can i circumvent that ip block?

and why are ther different font sizes in my posts when use my phone to post?

Your IP is not on my blacklist, can you access to this URL and give me your Public IP and User-Agent ?
https://irc.abime.net/myip/

[honx]

in chrome:
your public ip: 78.142.74.185 usr agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebkit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/108.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

in firefox:
your public ip: 78.142.74.185 user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0

in firefox (linux mint vm):
your public ip: 78.142.74.185 user agent: (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:90.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/90.0

i hope there is no typo since coudnt copy any text from pc to phone.

here irc.abime.net/myip on firefox on my phone:
Your public ip:
78.142.74.185
Your user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Android 13; Mobile; rv:125.0) Gecko/125.0 Firefox/125.0

and here what chrome on my phone shows:
Your public ip:
78.142.74.185
Your user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 10; K) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/124.0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36

btw when chrome shows ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE it also shows "eab.abime.net hat keine daten gesendet" - in english this means "didnt send any data" i guess.

as i said, eab only works on my phone if i use mobile internet. eab doesnt work if i use wlan to connect my phone to internet and eab also doesnt work on computer.

[honx]

does eab use something like cloudflare or any other protection thingsmajigs which may have blocked my ip? yesterday i tried several reloads on the page due to that "too busy" shenanigans before that err_empty_response occurred. maybe i did too many reload? so something thinks im an ai bot now?

Yesterday morning it was because of Claudebot attack, do you have any problem now ?

[honx]

irc.abime works, thats where i looked for ip and user agent as you asked me to do.
the other two i have to test when at home in 3hrs.

//edit: probably not necessary anymore but i tested amiga.abime.net and old.abime.net - both work.

//edit rck: they are both on the same server as EAB, so unblocking you was global

[RCK]

Okay I found your ip on a second (hidden) blacklist that was applied only on main server
It should be okay now, sorry for the blacklisting.

[honx]

yeah, it's working. im currently posting this on pc as it should be...
reading and typing on mobile phone was a pain in the ...

how did i manage to get on the blacklist? then i could try to avoid such behavior in future.
did i try to refresh (F5) the site too often or too fast due to that "too busy" shenanigans?

[RCK]

I just see your ip in the top 10 "requests by ip" at one moment the server was under attack.
Even if the F5 did not help, you got no luck I think
