  • When I suddenly began receiving over 750K requests per day from AI bots, I did significantly tighten firewall rules so the server could get back online (it was throwing gateway timeouts). This issue is probably collateral damage.

    The firewall does not block any ISPs in Uruguay, so I don’t believe Uruguay is a factor.

    There are several new layers of firewall rules. One of them is blocking the request.

    The information I need to adjust the firewall may be in the paste bin post (thank you for this!). But if there is anything more you can tell me about what is trying to read the message, it would be helpful. Which phone app, for example?

    I’ll have more time to look at this tomorrow. I may have more questions. Hopefully I can reproduce the issue.

    Thanks for reporting this!
