drafts.csswg.org keeps blocking my IP, rate limits are too low

[Loirooriol]

The server doesn't respond. Not even ping drafts.csswg.org works.

I can access it if I use the data connection from my phone. But I can't access it from the my home's connection. Maybe my IP is banned or something, I'm behind CGNAT :(

It is working for me.

I have been banned in the past though for requesting drafts too quickly :(

[Loirooriol]

Works again for me. Comparing traceroute -I drafts.csswg.org, previously it got stuck in ae22.gw4.scz1.netarch.akamai.com (23.203.158.53), now it reaches smtp.csswg.org (45.79.94.155) after that.

You most likely triggered a CrowdSec block. This can happen for exceeding rate limits (among other things) and will block all traffic from your IP to the server for 4 hours.

If it keeps happening let me know what your IP address is and I can look at what caused the block, and adjust rate limits if needed. It's a balance between allowing normal access and blocking scrapers.

@plinss

Individual drafts still work, but the overall drafts index is down.

[svgeesus]

Still down. Individual drafts do work if you know the address, but the overall index is still missing.

@plinss My IP seems blocked again, it's 77.75.177.5, I wonder if I'm sharing it with a bot due to CGNAT.

[plinss]

Your IP was blocked due to rate limiting violations. The only UA string associated with that IP in the logs is "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:134.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/134.0", so doesn't look like a bot, Just hitting too many specs too close together (each image load counts, but it does allows higher bursts for those). If you get a 429 error, just back off for a while to avoid an IP block.
