User:Xcelled194/Banned IP

So, as most of you know, I'm in charge of hosting the automatic server status script for the wiki. It resides on my personal web server, which is sitting in my basement.

Part of the server status script is that it connects to each channel and the Nexon website once a minute. This is 4 x7 = 28 connections a minute (Mari, Ruairi, and Tarlach all have 7 channels, Alexina has 5, plus Nexon's site and the login server)

Because of the DDoSing going on the past few days, Nexon started banning IP addresses that were "spamming" it. Mine was one of those.

What does this mean? I can't log in to the game, go to the site to file a ticket (ironically), and the automated server status script is blind. It doesn't know the correct statuses any more. As such, I'll be removing it from the main page until I get this issue resolved.

I'm working on a solution. It comes down to two things: I can either get my IP unbanned by Nexon, or "force" Verizon to assign me a new IP. Both of these aren't simple tasks, but I'm working hard to restore the script to functionality.

Thanks for your understanding,
