DDoS Update: Good News, Everyone!

[808bee]

Is there a separate status site to let us know when things are down?

 

[Notlob]

Good job!
Donation on the way.

working superb with proxy without it it load slow :/

@808bee Twitter is usually the go-to site for most websites to gain status information. In this case https://twitter.com/MangaDex .

Anyway, thanks a lot for all the effort you're putting into this @Zephyrus & crew! I grew up in the years when visiting an all-text website took at least 5 minutes with the dial up modem, and our printers were ultra-mega-special if they only(!) took the duration of a little walk outdoors to print out one page in colour. So I don't mind it too much, if anything, this slow speed is rather nostalgic. 😅

@Angie7 Ahh, the good ole days. I remember them well. Kids these days have no real idea what slow is.

 

[Jewgeni89]

Keep up the good work, boys! I'm sure you will figure it out.

 

[Siebzehn]

how much data are you transferring every second?

 

[ilaurens]

Odd, there is no limit for free users with cloudflare, though you get better tools for a higher price.

When you are under attack, you can do a 'Under attack mode' by toggling this on the main page for mangadex.org. It will give a challange for visitors. Bit annoying but you can look if It can mitigate a bit of the problems.

A challange for now is acceptable, but this load time isn't

@ilaurens
The DDOS is no longer the issue. We are waiting on some maintenance to end on CF's side before we will be able to restore regular service to MD. There's nothing we can do until the 31st.

God, I miss you guys so much, tried a few scanlators own reader, and they are all pure cancer.

 

[DjAlexDubCheck]

@Nolzi Why ? What do they have ?

 

[Amaterasu816]

Honestly not sure whats he's talking about. Maybe he doesn't have adblock? In my experience most scanlation readers are bare bones stuff that gets the job done though some are frustrating to navigate through to get to what series and chapter you want

 

[lightingcloud]

@Nolzi mfw 90% of the mangas I follow are mangadex-only releases

How about Incapsula as an alternative/backup for Cloudflare?
When setup you can switch your DNS really fast between those two (Incapsula uses simple CNAME rule), in case one goes offline.

 

[Melnyx]

What about pay to play? 50 cent a month for priority use and everyone will be pleased. Make it 1$/€ and support the scanlator groups if you give them half.

 

[woo_Ose]

Thanks for the hard work team, best Manga site so far

@Melnyx They can only ask for donations for legal reasons. Scanlating manga is already a grey area...

@Wolvenworks: Iphone doesn't allow apps that has pirated content unfortunately.
