Another abuser blocked
Found just this evening that from a range of addresses starting with 78.138.116, had 15 concurrent sessions open on this blog, causing the system to page heavily. So I blocked the network (78.138.116.0/23) in the router, restarted WASD. Within seconds, the same happened from address 78.138.117.* – so it seems blocking didn’t exactly work.
But scanning the WASD documentation, I ran into the [reject] section in the configuration. Now these netwrks are now both denied access to the web; either by the router, or if they get trough, by WAD itself.
Quite som other sites will be handled similarly.
