Due to a lot of unnaturally high traffic coming from specific regions (the usual DDoS suspects) we've had to take the hard decision to close access to specific IP ranges - whilst 90% of our users are unaffected we are working on getting the other 10% back online ASAP.

There are some issues also with users logging in. We are working on this as well. I ask you to stick with us whilst we work this out.

This will be the main discussion thread for this issue. To keep the news flow legitimate other threads will be closed and pointed here.
 
Thanks for keeping us updated. Hopefully you guys can sort it soon.
 
Thanks for the Update Diamond Damien,I can confirm that I still cannot access BHW from my location IP.
 
What do you guys use for DDoS mitigation? I can't imagine you manually adding filters to iptables :P
 
Thanks DD:cool: For your info my access from Spain has been blocked for most of the last 24 hours
 
No access by German IP or Swiss. But US is fine.
 
I just wanted to point out that Chrome shows up the 403 error all the time, Firefox works perfectly most of the time (sometimes shows 403).
Location Greece.

For the last 2 hours I had the opposite of that , FF didn't work, Chrome did.

All OK at the moment.
 
Yep. I have seen that there were some problems logging in to the website. Thanks for the update
