@VictoryFirst BTW, I would love to upgrade to 4.10 tonight or this weekend if that helps anything.

@mshih This thread reminds me. I updated my algorithm but never got around to publishing it. I need to add that to my ToDo list.

I turned off UAM (Under Attack Mode) for a bit and I am monitoring.

Update: it’s back on

Update: UAM is on but allowing the “good bots” to bypass. So far so good.

Bit by bit, I will restore the site to some normalcy.

I added a forum plugin and a new rule to bypass the CloudFlare check.

So after you login or if you do anything while logged in, you will get a cookie. This cookie allows you to bypass that check. If you log out, the cookie remains. As long as you visit once a year, you should never see that check again — until I’m testing something else. ;-)

@crockett36 Thanks I appreciate it. It feels like I’m playing a war game with these stupid bots.

Me: turn off Singapore, China, and Brazil
Bots: hmmm
Me: Phew it looks like it’s getting bett…
Bots: Launch Agentina, Vietnam, Mexico, Chile, Japan, …
Me: <censored>

@LaFayette I opened a PR to add the Triplea-Version header to requests to this site.

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/14308

I prefer these headers over what I’m currently doing, which the bots might figure out eventually.

Temporarily turning it off for 5 minutes to test a TripleA build.

Update: test completed and passed.

We are back in business.

@Panther What version of TripleA? Probably 2.6++ right?

@msoot @VictoryFirst is it working again?
