I have noted a tremendous fall off of server activity. Analysis from several sources show internet activity and general attacks targeting websites and the internet backbone seem to be causing a huge number of Pale Moon users to not be able to connect to the server. My connection to it is thus far not affected but I have a rather direct path to it.

Our Add-ons Server is NOT under direct attack but this is obviously affecting general internet connectivity and traffic.

For example.. One "Is it down" service reports the server is unreachable while another reports that it is fine. Sources for global internet traffic and attacks are showing yellow and red lights everywhere in North America and western Europe.

As I am also working on other things I am keeping an eye on general server activity. Will let you know if I find out anything else.

NOTE: These images are a few hours old.. When I first noticed the drop off.

Additionally, reports from the field on connectivity would be appreciated. Please reply to this thread over the next day or so with a yay or nay and a GENERAL idea of where you are.

It looks like things are trending back up to normal. Do please comment here if you cannot connect to the Add-ons Site or it is slow.. Anything out of the ordinary.

NOTE: These images are current as of this post.

Just so everyone knows.. Activity did indeed return to normal so whatever was happening at the time stopped or was mitigated.
