When Gr> I had my last bbs, it didn't seem this bad. What do y'all do? Add more Gr> nodes? Or will they just get clogged up too? I've noticed an increase in bot activity in the last few weeks. In sbbs.ini, in the [BBS] section, there's the setting MaxConcurrentConnections, which lets you limit the number of concurrent connections from the same client. I used to have that set to 8, and I reduced it to 2. Also, in recent versions of Synchronet (3.20 and 3.21), there are some settings for maximum amount of time for inactivity, such as MaxLoginInactivity and MaxDumbTermInactivity, that you can set so that inactive clients get disconnected after an amount of time. This page on the wiki describes some techniques you can use to limit this activity from clients & bots: https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:block-hackers Nightfox n --- gSynchronetn Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com ----------------------------------------------------------- [Voltar]
