Hi Guys,
Itβs okay, I understand the situation. Let me see what I can do from my end.
Iβm sure I can do something around this.
But, before I do anything, please let me know the domain and port where this is
getting affected. Is it just aur.archlinux.org on port 22? Or is there
something else as well?
I wish you luck!
I wanted to provide an updated data point. AUR had been reachable
earlier today without much delay. Since the 6.17 hit core, we needed to
do some work with the nvidia-390xx-utils patch tonight. Connections to
AUR timeout or fail, and then sometimes it will connect after 45-60
seconds (just right before whatever timeout the browser uses to report a
failed connection)
I had several failure reaching
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-390xx-utils and then it took
two attempts approximately (first failed with timeout) and then second
succeeded after about 45 seconds or so to update
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-390xx-utils#comment-1042443
It looks like the DDOS attack is still ongoing to some degree. I
guess this is why we just can't have nice things on the Internet anymore.
Good luck to all devops in your mitigation attempts, I know this is
frustrating for everyone, so we will just be patient in the mean-time.
(of course it just had to hit at the kernel minor version update...)
