Sorry for the outage on the cluster and spotters earlier. Not sure when we went offline but the computer was running but there was no network connectivity. Solved with a reboot.
We have a friend in Vietnam at 203.145.44.183, provided by
DANH TUAN TECHNOLOGY COMPANY LIMITED,
House number 36,
Hoa Binh Village,
Di Nau Commune,
Thach That District,

who has been beating on the server front door since midnight. Firewalled off now.
Hopefully that will be all or I’ll Firewall the entire IP range for that internet provider.
203.145.44.0/24 is still trying his luck and getting nowhere.
Today there was a period of disruption from a German IP address, this the last hour’s traffic that is blocked at the firewall.
And a Swiss station had made over 50 simultaneous connections and was still connecting… I think a script had gone wrong. He’s firewalled till I can mail him. Despite the mayhem, the cluster just kept running for a change :-):
