Once again, amazed at the resilience of #nostr for my project #safebox. Over the past week I had to battle denial of service attacks that forced me to move my relay and mint to another region. My biggest concern was the wallet data I had on the relay. No problem. I just spun up a new strfry relay, did a negentropy sync, switched the DNS and the service did not skip a beat!
Onward!
Why is someone ddosing you who did you piss off?
It was the vps infrastructure that was being ddosed.
Uh oh they pissed off someone.
It’s been a great learning experience. Before I go live with a service, I need to develop a solid playbook to deal with the various dos attacks. I am also experimenting with dynamic relay and mint selection, so my service is no more than a dumb gateway service for payments and record sharing on the nostr network.
