Does anyone know which kind of attacks or malicious activity would cause high data-out? I’m getting slammed at the end of every month with crazy data-out charges, can’t scale this way..

I’ve made the ‘View All’ files for pay only accounts, I compress most public files… The apps cache these images so the same user isn’t downloading…

Ideas? Added blank index.html files in open directories..

Not needing donations, just any thoughts on how to prevent what appears to be a data-out leakage.

Would help to see the access pattern. And maybe cross-reference that back to the notes and pubkey that ref them.

Might actually be good to investigate this on a grander scale, this way you can actually bill people properly if they cause a lot of traffic.

There should be a price difference between someone hosting and image with 100 followers, and someone hosting videos with 50k followers.

Starting to investigate and test now..

It’s hard to believe it is regular people usage related, even for influencers, 9TB out is a lot!
