Davide Posted May 29 Posted May 29 (edited) I'm in Portugal and I can't connect to GA without a VPN since last night, the site just doesn't load. This is happening on both desktop and mobile, since I think about 10 hours ago. I was only able to connect now by using a VPN that connected me to the Netherlands. Edited May 29 by Davide Quote

Our server was under heavy attack from Portugal last night, and the firewall automatically blocked access from that country. It should clear itself soon 2 1 Quote

But we don't have the pleasure of being able to afford having a nice high-end system like Cloudflare or other cloud-based mitigation systems. 1 2 Quote

Yeah, my comment wasn't a criticism of you not having any system in place for that. I just thought an attack like that was strange. 1 Quote

The whole internet has been under heavy attack. 5 Quote
Jason Rimbaud Posted May 29 Posted May 29 I think everyone knows I am not very tech savy. When you say underattack, does that mean bots are trying to flood GA's servers? Or is it like hacking attempts? Jason (Not trying to derail but generally curious what that meant) 2 Quote
