I’ve had to turn on Cloudflare’s full proxy with nearly 10’s of thousands of requests coming out of CN IPs, in the last hour making ~7000 requests:

there are ~250,000 requests from china in the last ~20 hours

    How’s it holding up, making a difference? I reckon the bot hits are trending down from where they were a few days ago

        Damn, you’re getting similar levels to us. Got about 520k requests to the UIs in the past 24 hours (this excludes federation or app usage that hit APIs directly, I have Anubis placed after those are split off).

        Of those 520k, Anubis flat denies about half. and virtually all the rest are challenged, with somewhere around 7% actually being completed. So we are talking about 18k of the 520k getting through now. Most of those are probably still bots (logged in users get a straight pass through, and as mentioned federation or app users don’t follow this path), but the server is much happier now than it was a few days ago.

        I have Cloudflare disabled now, trying that out. I’ve had to get Grafana up to scratch as I don’t get to use Cloudflare stats to track anymore.

            Damn. I’ve got Cloudflare off so should go install a geoip database so I can check what country things are coming from.

            Not to out do you but we actually hit 50 requests per second a few hours back! That’s through the reverse proxy so includes federation and other traffic not hitting anubis.

                It’s just crazy, these indescriminate scrapers are the worst. They think they are getting more data but they are just scraping the same data over and over via different instances 🙄

                For the last 3 days (since turning on the block) there has been a dead spot from China from 4:00 to 14:00 NZST.

                @Dave@lemmy.nz you seeing the same drop?

                Ah i missed your edit. I don’t have per country data like that, I’ve only very recently played with removing Cloudflare from the equation and haven’t set up any geo-location stuff yet. My requests are coming pretty evenly over the day though, up and down a bit bit depending on time but nothing like what you’re describing. I’m looking at all traffic though, not just China.
