<2022-09-07T10:22:00.000Z> AnotherFren: Yo Josh, I hope you're well, would it be possible for you to use donated resources like VPS's (you could even accept donated accounts so you have full control) or containers that can run a simple reverse proxy with a cache for media as a offload for your stuff behind the DDoS protection, so DDoS protection -> donated shit-filter -> whatever you're running? I can see how it might be a bottleneck but you could also just add it to what you're already running as more infrastructure. It's a little bit of guerilla hosting and the hosts might be banned or whatever but if people are willing to , it might be worth it if they are gonna continue to DDoS, if only to save you costs
<2022-09-07T10:27:49.000Z> AnotherFren: Also, how much traffic is hitting you at peak?
<2022-09-10T23:27:39.000Z> AnotherFren: Also, saw that you had a mikrotik, do you need a new router?
<2022-09-11T06:07:25.000Z> josh: i definitely do
<2022-09-11T06:07:29.000Z> josh: but they fucking lost it
<2022-09-11T06:07:44.000Z> josh: i need like a proper high pps switch
<2022-09-11T06:07:48.000Z> josh: with bgp
<2022-09-13T07:00:49.000Z> AnotherFren: How many PPS per port do you need minimum? The Quanta LB6M is a pretty cheap 24-port 10g switch(i think it has bgp stock but if not you can flash it with Brocade Turbolron 24X sw, which has it) that I could donate to you, not sure how fast I can get it to you tho
<2022-09-13T07:03:09.000Z> AnotherFren: There is also the Quanta LB4M which has 48 1g ports and 2 10g uplink ports that's dirt cheap if you don't need 10g for anything
<2022-09-13T07:04:37.000Z> AnotherFren: Also, for router, are your needs? I might be able to supply something
<2022-09-13T07:14:06.000Z> AnotherFren: what are your needs*
<2022-09-13T08:38:58.000Z> josh: Where are your hardware?
<2022-09-13T08:39:08.000Z> josh: I'm expecting to be sold surplus today or tomorrow
<2022-09-13T13:05:36.000Z> josh: that's way too far
<2022-09-14T08:13:13.000Z> AnotherFren: I see
<2022-09-14T10:21:12.000Z> josh: btw
<2022-09-14T10:21:15.000Z> josh: do you have experience with brocades
<2022-09-14T10:21:22.000Z> josh: I have a NetIron
<2022-09-14T10:21:29.000Z> josh: I can't ping the gateway from my upstream on the SFP port
<2022-09-14T10:21:40.000Z> josh: It's very possible that zayo has just completely fucked everything up
<2022-09-15T15:11:27.000Z> AnotherFren: It's very hard to help with only that, I have some experience but without more info it's hard to say what the issue would be
<2022-09-15T15:13:29.000Z> AnotherFren: Sorry if I'm replying slowly, I only use this website to see your updates about the website and to offer any help I can
<2022-09-15T15:28:33.000Z> AnotherFren: If you need any help with anything infrastructure related I'd be happy to help, I work as an infrastructure engineer
