As a temporary measure one of our IPs for vip9.freeola.net has been blocked. All other services should be back up and working. We will update on measures to resolve issues for customers on vip9 later.

Traffic is flowing normally again. We're still investigating and services may still be affected throughout the afternoon. We'll continue to post updates as we get more information. Apologies to all customers for the problems these issues will be causing.

Unfortunately the earlier issue returned. We believe the target of the attack has been identified and we should be able to take steps to prevent this happening again. Nature of a DDoS attack makes confirming these things quite difficult. Apologies once more.

Things look to be getting back to normal now. Customers whose sites are hosted on vip9.freeola.net will still be seeing issues. Please accept our apologies for the obvious inconvenience these issues cause to everyone.

Investigations are still on-going. Please accept our apologies for the continued inconvenience.

The network looks to be suffering a DDos attack once more. We'll try and get things up and running as quickly as possible. We are investigating. Please accept our apologies.
Took me a while to find a link to the Network Status Page ... no wonder, it's right at the bottom of a rather long Front Page :¬(
I'm not surprised that other Freeola Forum Regulars have become quiet ... they weren't Freeola Service Users in the first place;¬)

Any update on this situation? I know it's Easter, but that statement appeared on the 29th March ;¬)

I'm trying to work out if the header image is the CERN particle accelerator, an aerospace wotsit, a brewery or an old bus clutch! It's used in lots of places.
Hmmm... Or ... a motorbike engine...

No further issues flagged on our monitoring so perhaps it was something more local to you.
Thanks Eccles. Just got in from work and all seems to be running smoothly now :¬)
