Cloudflare

Huh, interesting that offending parties are so determined. Oh well, I guess that it's working.

 

[MadocComadrin]

There are multiple, independent offending parties attacking Warband related stuff right now. POM TS has been DDoSed over the past week or so multiple times.

 

[Delora Filth]

The **** is POM TS?

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Some form of clan teamspeak, I assume.

 

[Delora Filth]

Sounds like a written form of beatboxing. "POM-TS POM-POM-TSSS POM-TS POM-POM-TSS"

 

[Dusk Voyager]

Knights of Pomerania Team Server/Speak?

 

[Froi]

Knights of Pomerania Team Server/Speak?

Teamspeak, yes.  The POM Warband server hasp probably been DDoS'ed as well, I would assume.

 

[Lumos]

CloudFlare just told me that the website is offline amidst my browsing, and that no cached version is available. It was OK a few seconds later though.

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Phew!

When Taleworlds forum 1st started with a "Checking your browser, this will take 5 seconds", it worked ok, but later it did not get past this on Win XP with Firefox or Chrome or on Vista with Firefox, Chrome or IE. It does not proceed past this message.  I am using another system on Win7 with Firefox to write this.
What is it checking for and what does it find not acceptable?

I'm no expert, but it makes sense that a system supposed to keep the web secure blocks the OSs it considers old and insecure even if the browser is up to date.

While there's been thread renamings going on, shouldn't this be named to something more obvious so new people would know to shove their issues 'ere as well?

Do you have a plugin which blocks Javascript in those browsers? If not, is it possible your system or browsers on the affected systems are compromised / infected?

No, on the contrary, I downloaded and installed the latest version of java supported by XP in an attempt to fix this. This on a hard disk recently formatted and XP installed.

Java and Javascript are two entirely different and unrelated things. That said, Javascript wouldn't be disabled unless you disabled it or installed a plugin (such as NoScript) which disables it.
Are you connecting from the same IP address on the systems which don't get past it as the one system which does?

By the way, please don't add links which have nothing to do with the topic at hand to every post.

No the IP addresses are different, but the XP machine that does not work has a dynamic IP address allocated by the ISP at each login.

Is cloudflare supposed to give a message if it finds something it does not like or is it supposed to stay on the ' Checking your browser' message forever?

If you don't mind, go to this page on the XP machine and send me a PM with the resulting IP and whether it indicates a proxy is detected:
https://www.whatismyip.com/

Normally CloudFlare would indicate the cause of a problem, but there are certain cases where it doesn't or can't for whatever reason. A couple of more common examples would be problems with a person trying to connect through some proxy servers, or an SSL misconfiguration for the domain, and in this case SSL isn't misconfigured for the domain. And of course there's the case if Javascript is disabled, but we've effectively ruled that out.

I've problems connecting to the forum with my phone too. It just has a white page which loads and loads and loads without stop. Have let it try for ten minutes before, no fish.

Phone's Samsung S5230, browser is "Samsung Mobile Browser v0.8"
IP and more details are in a PM.

ok,I'll send you a PM next time I have access.

So, uh, why was it saying earlier this morning (as in about an hour and 40 minutes ago) that the site was down?
