Solution David N. Posted January 18 Solution Share Posted January 18 (edited) There are a lot of server errors lately. Generally when I'm experiencing server errors, they match slow response time peaks on the response time curve reported there: https://status.invisioncommunity.com/ - but the downtimes are not reported. I've been reporting my downtimes in the following topic: Edited January 18 by David N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Horton Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Ok. I do not love it but as long as it is not something wrong with my community I will roll with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management Lindy Posted January 18 Management Share Posted January 18 We're sorry for any inconvenience. We have been hit with a run of large-scale Distributed Denial of Service attacks against a few customers that seemingly attracted a lot of negative attention. We are constantly improving our mitigation systems, but there are rare occasions when there's a delay while the system mitigates while minimizing disruption to legitimate traffic. Thank you for your patience and ongoing business. David N. and John Horton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David N. Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Thank you Lindy. There was already a large scale DDoS attack on December 26 that resulted in several hours of downtime, so this is definitely a problem with Invision's Cloud hosting services. I understand the cloud use AWS, and I see that AWS has protection against DDoS: https://aws.amazon.com/shield/ - not sure if Invision is already using this service or not.

Randy Calvert Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) No… not really. Especially not REAL DDoS attacks. Great for marketing hype… not overly useful in the real world. Edited January 20 by Randy Calvert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
