Caching Oops…

Seems our caching service and our temporary anti-VPN stance with the ongoing issue with a specific individual caused the caching service to pickup the VPN block page and display it as our homepage. I let the NOC know what appears to be happening and they should be working this shortly. Sorry for the oops.

Anubis is Down

Temporarily Anubis will be offline, meaning we are serving our website directly for the moment. I need to make some changes to the configuration because we have noticed some issues in logging.

Happy Holidays!

Just a quick check in from our project for our members and end users,
Wanted to wish you all a happy holidays and hope Dec 25th went well for you. Our team has gotten both of our Minecraft servers launched, most of the migration to our new address ranges has been performed and our Satisfactory instance seems to be running fairly well.

There have been some changes making their way into our routing gear and various servers as we are starting to disallow incoming VPN traffic due to abuse and malice that has been knocking on the door. This is being done to ensure our operations remain safe and sane. We are also talking about increasing the monthly data allowance for our members to 800GB per month instead of 600GB, so that is most likely a welcome change.

We are also looking at possibly increasing our storage space on the primary server to be able to host more games since we still have a fair amount of idle CPU power, so maybe something will come of that shortly.

Peaking behind the curtain-

Have an animation and get nommed!

We have been busy working on bringing Minecraft and Satisfactory to our services for people to hangout and play alongside one another- This task has been completed and seems to be stable, working pretty well with minimal lag or other problems. If you have issues with any of our game servers, please reach out to Riot, they are responsible for that portion of MFN. The NOC cannot help with the game servers.

We have updated our email policies again to go scorched earth on a certain provider as a whole, hopefully limiting both Adrian’s and the project’s exposure to some things that…aren’t good for her to be dealing with and that our volunteers do not need to deal with. If you have email service with us, you can request overrides for your account.

Our NOC fwoofs are slowly issuing WireGuard profiles to those who requested them. It will be a few days, but you will get your profiles by the end of next week at the latest. We are also raising our data usage limits to 800GB and traffic shaping to allow for up to 400Mbps shared networking until Jan 16th. It is Crimmus season and we know people have steam downloads to make.

DNS RPZ has been updated with more OpenNIC related domains being dropped to hopefully prevent us from being used for malware queries. This is currently a manual process that require log reviewal to keep an eye on whats going on, so it takes a bit to react as the landscape changes but we are making an effort.

We have been getting feedback from the folks who have been helping MFN/FurrIX continue onward. I am hearing what y’all have mentioned and have concerns with, we will be making some changes to how we govern our services and projects. This will be a slow and long road because I am on the road a lot this time of year and need to approve changes before they go live. But yes, the language behind a lot of our policies could be structured better and project goals could be better explained.

Thats the updates from our team, hope you fwoofs have a wonderful day.
