| G | hads: thanks | 00:35 |
| * G wonders if NZRS are up to tricks, I'm sure it worked last week | 00:36 | |
| G | It worked from home so obviously a "NZ only" thing, but it seems strange to limit it to NZ only | 00:36 |
| olly | G: got an example which fails for you? | 02:16 |
| G | olly: skywesay.co.nz was one, but I tweeted them, they reckon it's just rate limiting | 02:45 |
| G | works from home, not from my Dallas Linode | 02:45 |
| olly | works for me from a colo box in the uk | 02:45 |
| olly | it figures linode might generate more requests than either of us... | 02:45 |
| G | yeah, guess I can't blame them for rate limiting really, they've got to balance privacy and stability and all | 02:48 |
| hads | You would think the rate limiting would be per IP | 03:08 |
| hads | My test was from Freemont Linode by the way. | 03:08 |
| G | Or, at max per /24, it's nearly as if they are limiting per AS or something | 03:09 |
| hads | Yup | 03:09 |
| olly | i guess they limit based on the characteristics of the abusive accesses they see | 03:10 |
| hads | But we're all guessing. | 03:10 |
| G | https://twitter.com/dotNZ/status/597602091000008704 "likely that activity by another party in the same country is impacting you." | 03:21 |
| hads | How obscure. | 03:29 |
| G | yeah | 03:30 |
| G | Well it's not the whole of the US blocked either, tried a VPS on DigitalOcean and it worked | 03:34 |
| olly | i think they just don't want to give details of how they rate limit in case people use that to try to evade it | 03:36 |
| olly | but they are indicating it's not just by individual IP | 03:37 |
| G | yeah, must be per block/AS or something | 03:46 |
| hads | Blocking through obscurity. | 04:04 |
