Re: H E L P !! It's broken
From my post in another thread...

I wanted to mention that we activated our "IP Flood protection" mechanism.

We will still block IPs that are clearly making malicious requests (these requests contain obscene or explicit text)

The big change is that we won't be automatically blocking requests because an invalid calendar was requested (multiple times). Only IPs that requesting multiple calendars every second will be blocked - and even then only for a few seconds.

We are monitoring our servers to see if this solution is as effective as the IP blacklist.

The only way you would see that message is if we received multiple requests from the same IP for that calendar. You can create this situation yourself by hitting F5 really quickly a bunch of times in your browser.

This is another attempt we are making to balance stability and availability in light of recent malicious attacks.
