Hi all, What is the situation? Can you try to get some additional data when loading? 1 start the browser debugger. F12 2 select the tab network 3 browse to forum or wiki 4 now you will see in the debug window how long different parts of the file took to load. 5 look for html file, and add the longest time to you mail.

Re: Unable to access on forums
I agree with Bidouille. I don't see a significant enhancement on the performance on the wiki. For every edit I make (add page, edit page, upload picture) I am forced to hit the Try again button in Firefox at least 5 times. Wiki is still timing out on me. Please don't get me wrong.

Re: Unable to access on forums
Thanks for the feedback. It had an effect. The server is now not overburdend anymore in total. But it is not okay either! Securing the Connection takes a long time. up to 9s per item fetched it seems. If you press F12 in your browser, select network and then reload the forum page, you will see that parts will take a lot of time until they are loaded. I have updated the infra ticket.

Re: Unable to access on forums
I would have also to think about this. An unbranded version is available, https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/botstopper/ There are many of these 'tools' becoming available.

Re: Unable to access on forums and wiki
Today’s improvements. 1. I am now adding Bytedance’s spider from both the Forums and Wikis. I tracked requests from 17,000 IP addresses today. Bad, bad, Bytedance, be better. I feel like sending them an invoice. 2. I’ve tuned the Apache and php fpm workers to be balanced. Response times seem to be in decent shape. We are averaging about 100,000 requests an hour on across the 10 forums including 403 on denied requests.

Re: Unable to access on forums and wiki
I have tightened up and separated php pooling so that wiki and forums are separated. Trouble is caused by back pressure from the database. It turns out that forum session tables needed a specific index created and while they are cleaned up there is an overuse on the Hungarian forum which was causing contention. I plan to setup blocking for aggressive spiders in the apache configuration tomorrow. Here is the list: # Known aggressive bots SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "Bytespider" bad_bot SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "MJ12bot" bad_bot SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "AhrefsBot" bad_bot SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "SemrushBot" bad_bot Let me know if you know others to add. Let’s see what the next 24 hours brings.

The tuning I am working on is starting to stop bad requests before they get to the php layer. Last year I put aggressive IP blocking in place and we have a large deny list (and a small allowlist) built over time. The latest set of trouble has included slow loris connections and that is mitigated. Otherwise we have the usual scanners trying phpBB style requests w/o knowing our unique organization. I’ll need to revisit the deny list process (python code that counts IPs in access logs) to include looks in the error logs for specific errors which should show bad actors more quickly.

Re: Unable to access on forums and wiki
> I’ve used a new tool from ASF Infra to block a couple of data centers with > bad connection requests. It would be interesting to know how this is achieved, One way is to use AS (autonomous system, very large network or group of networks with a single routing policy) blocking. This can be achieved using local tools, and creating a blocklist, or hardware firewalls. I would recommend blocking AS24940, AS16276, AS14061, AS51167, AS16509, AS8075, AS396982, AS136907. You can generate lists using, bgpq4, to generate lists that you can use, supporting a wide output for hardware. Or you can define output format, such as bgpq4 -F "%n\\n" AS24940. >From the above list, "bgpq4 -F "%n\\n" AS24940 AS16276 AS14061 AS16509 AS8075 >AS396982 AS136907 > output" gives a file with 36 945 address. Even just using >these tools to see where this traffic is coming from is helpful. There are many autonomous systems that should be filtered, or monitored. I also asked a question recently to Brave (Kit), and it replied with an answer from the public email archive in very recent history. It would be worth investigating where the traffic comes from, as what the intention of the connection. If it is a web scraper, you could feed it to a tarpit, https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/ai-haters-build-tarpits-to-trap-and-trick-ai-scrapers-that-ignore-robots-txt/. This has varying levels of success. Otherwise, BGP filtering will allow you to get rid of a bunch of bad connections. Some should be outright blocked, others can be monitored for abuse, and rejected upon x request in a given time. All the best.

I think that I have finally tuned the apache config properly. I’ve got a little more tuning to do, but unless there is trouble. I’m waiting until next week.
