Is this the reason why wss://relay.snort.social/ has been frequently offline lately?

nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj have you seen this note?

Naive, but is there anything we as a community can do?

Damn that’s the one massive Odell fan. Sucks though, what about having temporary measurements, like slap cloudflare mitigation in between until the attack stops ? Remove it when done? Not sure what the alternative is except for upscaling the telco ladder.

How can we help? 🙏🏼🫡 anything we can do please let us know

Any specific networks/AS attacking or is it moving around?

If a state or its proxy, they don't like livestreams that they can't cut off, I suppose? As someone else said, what can we do to help?

You were really rude. Be nicer and they won’t even swat you!

cant we decentralize zap.stream?

Make people sign in with npub. It's the only way.

Start whitelisting with a payment lockout? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

What ip blocks is the traffic originating from?

I assume they don't like zap.stream

DDoS for hire services are absolutely capable of that volume of traffic. Anyone willing and able to pay could be behind it. It costs less than you might guess. So who has a history of getting busted for anti-social attacks against nostr and related services?

Is the problem your servers or your bandwidth? There are some ways to defend servers, but it's harder to defend incoming bandwidth

How does the site still load if your getting DDoS attacked? Is it just the streaming/CDN backend getting attacked?

There are many well-funded bad actors who hate financial freedom, freedom of speech, and privacy. (In some places, it's actually illegal to criticize them, and even in America just naming certain of them can cause career-ruining "legal" or propaganda attacks.)

You're the man, that's what.

Can't zap, sad!

It's multiple yous from the future sending packets back in time to stop you.

Parker Lewis should be sus as hell

What are the chances these are politically motivated BDS looneys because of ScardustTV? Won't be the first time. I'm looking into self hosting zap stream core. nostr:nprofile1qqsx8lnrrrw9skpulctgzruxm5y7rzlaw64tcf9qpqww9pt0xvzsfmgprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxz...
