August 5th 2019 outages

Just to leave a public notion:
We've seen some server outages yesterday which turned out to be caused by a so called "ddos"-attack (basically, some folks felt like overloading the wikiloops servers with gazillions of requests at once, it's a common way to attack a webserver).
As a security measure, some IP ranges had to be blocked from access to wikiloops - should you experience trouble visiting wikiloops using a VPN, that may be connected to that newly installed protection.
Thanks to those who reported in, and your patience while the issue was investigated and eventually fixed.

Thank you for letting us know Dick :) There were problems here yesterday and last night, but things seem to have improved :)

This smelled of DDOS, yes. Thanks for the explanation, and for the counter-measures Chief :)

Thank you Dick :)

Can we help you by adopting some particular behavior during navigation?

Cheers :)

Anything to help this great site, thanks for letting us know
