what happen to the site

 

[GSWarriors]

Hello friends,

We are under some layer-3/4 attacks since this morning and the website is unstable. However the game is working fine and just the website is not responding from time to time. The DDos Protection is limited and unable to stop such attacks on layer-3/4 Level.

We are working to filter the attacks manually and allow everyone to be able to access our website again.

The website might be unstable (offline from time to time / you can still reset and add stats from the web and vote) for some of you in the next hours until we filter the attacks completely one by one and the attackers give up.

Here's why this kind of attack is not able to be stopped the easy way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_layer_DDoS_attack

Thank You,
The InfinityMU Team

Update 17/11/2014:
More information on the attacks we are able to block right now and this grants our websites to be online and stable:https://www.cloudflare.com/ddos

Be patient and RESiSTANT will fixed the problem

Vegas, that's probably your DNS servers is not updating. Try to put google's DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and then flush your dns cache. Should work fine. I just did it for one player and worked with that solution.

Open open Network Adapters from the Control Panel, Local Area connection then properities on your Internet Protocol Version 4 and put check "Use the following DNS Server address automatically" and fill out the DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 then click OK.
