Chisinau (Moldova) is up and running again. The following nodes are unavailable:
We have some servers that are unavailable at the moment due to different reasons: abuse and DCMA.linux-balancer.cstorm.pw:
London (UK)
Canada
Frankfurt (Germany)
windows-balancer.cstorm.pw
London (UK)
DCMA we all know, abuse can have different forms like DDOS, SQL injection attacks/scans etc.
We are in the process of negotiating with the data centers to bring these 'abuse' nodes up.
In order for them to release these nodes again, we need to indicate how we will prevent this kind of abuse in the future.
As we stick to our principles, we will not start to log or take other actions that would be intrusive for the privacy of our customers,
instead we will use techniques like iptables/IDS to prevent this. This means that the nodes will be marginally less traffic neutral.
Normally this shouldn't be noticeable for the users that are not into this type of abuse (quoting df: noisy as hell hack attempts).
Further updates will follow ...
