Brazil?
So, i noticed a pretty big increase in traffic from Brazil to palemoon.org addresses, which is now dwarfing traffic from the USA... Is these something I should know about Brazil that I haven't heard of yet? Any Brazilians here care to enlighten me?

Re: Brazil?
Are these addresses Tor nodes? Maybe somebody's attacking the site and they wanted to mask their identidy.
Re: Brazil?
I haven't bothered to check the logs yet. just noticed the statistics. Not really high priority since we can handle an extra million hits in 24 hours, easy.
As for Tor, unlikely. Tor users have no control over which exit node they end up using so would not be coming from one location.
I was just wondering if there was a Pale Moon buzz in Brazil I am unaware of or something.

Curious that you suggested Tor first thing. is there something I should know about?The Squash wrote: ↑2020-09-04, 22:33Are these addresses Tor nodes? Maybe somebody's attacking the site and they wanted to mask their identidy.
I adjusted a few things to monitor Tor exit traffic (which the Brazilian traffic has now been re-classified as, indeed) and it seems to all run bust on my firewall rules now, with no less than 370k connection attempts in the past 24 hours from Tor being blocked. Abusive, anyone? Once more underlining the very nature of traffic in that network, I guess.

Re: Brazil?
I've got no clue as to why Tor traffic has been hitting this place so hard. My guess of Tor was actually a humorous wild-posterior guess.
Maybe a bunch of Tor nodes in Brazil were compromised and sent to work in a DDoS attempt? (Maybe they were hacked by a virus called COVID-19.)
Re: Brazil?
Hahah.. if that is supposed to be a DDoS then they really need to scale it up a few hundred times. No, seems more likely upon further investigation that someone has been abusing the captive portal detection host from Tor for, what I guess, is a check if the internet could be reached. Sorry folks, that shit gets blocked now because you're not legit clients for that service.

Re: Brazil?
Maybe somebody thought that this site was a good target because it doesn't look super big and, to the layman, super professional.
But if you say that it's probably test connections, then perhaps it is after all.
Let's see if next time they attempt to connect via I2P...
