Just installed Waterfox in a VM, site works perfectly, any volunteers for an AnyDesk debugging session? (Teamviewer sucks)

Yeah, sometimes AnyDesk sucks too. For Windows machines I usually use SO Viewer ( https://so-viewer.com/ ), it's more comfortable because AnyDesk unable to intercept Windows hotkeys like "Alt+Tab" etc. Also, it has good speed and FPS rate if you use it through good network.

Weird. I have had no troubles with Anydesk in regards to intercepting hotkeys.

May be it is just a glitch/bug which appears only on my system (Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2). But sometimes this is a big pain in my butt.
TeamViewer, for example, works more stable on my laptop, if we are talking about hotkeys interception.

I keep getting this error when browsing the forums.

Shrek · Apr 24, 2022

Me too

W1zzard · Apr 24, 2022

Confirmed, I'm researching a DOS attack on our servers and have to repro these outages

qubit · Apr 24, 2022

It all still works fine for me in sunny Blighty.

Keullo-e · Apr 24, 2022

I got one 502 but works fine now.

W1zzard · Apr 24, 2022

Found a solution to prevent this attack in the future, everything should be smooth from here on out

I only saw this once a little while ago. Thought it was a glitch on my end..

I hoped the message and image was clear enough to indicate this is an error on our side

You'd be surprised how often I see that message and it's not an error originating from TPU or any other website that displays a 502 error. It has to do with how my firewall and relay operates. When I saw it this time and refreshed the page, the page quickly reloaded, thus the reason why I thought it was an error on this end.

Sorry for the comment, didn't mean to create any drama.

No worries, feedback is always appreciated

That should never happen. 5xx is a server-side error. Do you have any details on your setup?

Our high-availability setup catches those broken instances fairly quickly, so that's the norm. This DOS attack yesterday was special though, because when executed with sufficient concurrently it could take down all instances at the same time (faster than they could be restarted automatically)

W1zzard said:

Not that I'd be willing to disclose. My configuration can sometimes make a server think it's having an error when it's not. This usually results in a 503 or 504 but can send a 502 instead on occasion.

Given that, it seems like someone is focusing an attack on TPU. Russians again? Or is it the Chinese?

Keullo-e · Apr 25, 2022

Both the main site and forums were down for a while just a moment ago.

Down as in "loading, spinning, nothing happening" or was there an error message?

Firefox's "the page cannot be load" message.

edit: But now seems to work fine again.

Looks like professional hackers could have been behind the attack for it to do this much damage. But why would they target a PC enthusiast site like TPU? It makes no sense.

The log data looks just like a random scan, probably across a huge range of websites, to find out who's vulnerable

Nothing in the logs other than your normal browsing activity, might have been a connectivity issue somewhere between you and TPU. Next time, if it persists for more than a few seconds, run a traceroute

I guess, as other pages loaded fine. Well, let's hope that the problems are now over.

Hi,
I'd hack the site if I could just to remove the XPG gamers day banner on the home page :laugh:

lexluthermiester · Apr 30, 2022

A few minutes ago, I started getting "Connection Refused" errors. Jumped on a different network and had no problems logging in. IP groups being blocked?
