DDoS Filtering Updates

[Flowerfox]

Looks like everythin went OFFLINE last couple of minutes, even on OctoWOW status page it says both login and relm are offline.

I dont loose hope tho, this will stabilize and be good

Here's a handy site to keep an eye on instead of slamming your head against the login screen.

https://octowow-status.shunrai.workers.dev/

I don´t know that website shows online and green but I still can´t log in

It shows online, but login: offline, relm: unable to verify, which prob promts that main notification to say "online" but its not really... if u understadn what i want to say...

EDIT: Looks like you're right, now it claims "online" for both, but im stuck at " connecting"..."disconnected from server"

The issue with this, if archer is correct, is that the method to ping to show status is likely a singular connection that could be let through and may be a part of the player base that isn't suffering issues. That's the downside of this simple site, but it's still better than no information at all.

But how can some people get in and some not?

The ddos system is filtering out some of us it seems.

Me trying to log in a thousand times probably doesn´t make me look better either

few people I talked to had had around 150-200 ping, 2,000-4,000 during hard hits. Was so nice to be playing again thanks for all the hard work.

For some reason i've been thinking about This a lot lately.

the only time internet archive was hacked was during the court case with the 4 largest book publishers.
for the last few months we've had start-ups being made for the sole purpose of carrying out cyber attacks. If you're a start-up you want a 'facehugging' PR incident to increase your worth to billions. If you're a corporation you want to protect your IP.

Look how many illegal and unlawful actions activision/blizzard has committed over the years. the ex-ceo was on fukking epstein's black book of island visitors. And these are the people supposed to use morality only to keep from turning the infrastructure made solely for the purpose of offense against people for IP and copyright issues? You could argue for 'international' targets simply being someone hosting internet servers overseas.

Searching for driver's licenses and etc is supposed to be used by vetted agencies only but any doofus who heard about 'the dark webs' from the news can purchase the services. there's already a booming cyber attack industry and god knows how many are being used by the random employee of a company who may be acting alone or not let his superiors know

The current DDoS protection is like a net that gathers a group of IPs without prejudice and we are the unlucky ones that have been caught in it.

Yes and even if you were playing for 5 hours straight it flags you as a ddos IP suddenly

Just to let you know, and others, i managed to got in, using vpn and some free netherlands server...
First time in my life using vpn haha

[737rafa]

Hey everyone! I'm not able to connect even using VPN, any other suggestions? Thanks!!

[Doughboygaming]

Is there a way to get passed the stuck on "connecting" screen without a vpn? I've whitelisted my IP and it worked for a an hour or two earlier but now I'm just stuck on "connecting" before a disconnect.
