Currently under attack from crawlers again. It’s not as bad as May/Christmas 2024 when ChatGPT hammered the server, but almost.

Unique user sessions per day

Note that only 50 % of accesses are categorized as crawling. The bot, whatever it is, uses no user agent string. Just Chrome on Windows like most legit visitors.

All accesses originate from these IPs:

• 43.153.241.0
• 43.163.22.0
• 43.163.23.0
• 43.173.169.0
• 43.173.172.0

I’m blocking them in hopes that it gets better.

Those IP addresses are linked to a Tencent owned Singapore company. But that's as much research as I'm doing...

Yeah, probably inhaling the whole internet again to train their AI. With this forum 3000 times per day to make it really really good on TAW answers!

I updated the forum again. Let me know should any problems surface.

As part of my backup routine, I have optimized the images posted to the forum. Let me know if any image is broken.
