Yeah, this literally looks like some click bait post your servers aren't handling,that means you must be having good traffic and you have to upgrade your hosting plan instead of saying attack.

I thought I'd noticed some slow downs etc (tbf i have been having wifi issues aswell so thought it was my side).
I hope the conflict gets resolved quickly and safely for you. Keep your heads up, got mine and a lot of dedicated following here so keep pushing forward (plus imo you're the best mobile tech site/ev tech site going). ✌️

People do not just enter the Site all in the same second, an attack is very easy to spot if you know where to look. A better IT infrastructure? How will this help if attacks comming from over 100000 IPs? Maybe cloudflare bot would be able to spot the attack and block it, but we talk of a LOT of IPs commin in via https, even for cloudflare bots might be too hard to spot if this is an actuall attack or not. Blocking the IPs would be the real solutions, and dealing with the Providers to solve the problem would be the final step to be taken.

Clickbait type of Headline. Maybe it wasn't any IP attack but lot of traffic coming suddenly. Maybe some article of your got viral in India and so heavy traffic may have come because of it. You know the number of Internet users in India. Better use some good IT infrastructure and use Cloudflare. It will help next time.

This website is working fine without VPN in BSNL FTTH (fiber) and jio mobile data.
I don't use vi and bsnl mobile data. So no comments on that.

I am commenting here through fiber broadband without any VPN or proxies help. But can no longer access Gsmarena through my phone network. It is quite unfortunate what happened to Gsmarena and I wish Gsmarena migrate to more robust cloudflare network which tend to offer superior DDoS protection like delayed access.

A lot of traffic on your website? Well that's good isn't it? You are making a lot of money then.. Or do they all have AdBlock?

flop, 09 Mar 2024Website is slow here in northern Europe aswell :\Itll be slow no matter where you arem
The attack could be a denial of service method - hitting the host server and subsequently sub-IPs for the site as well. This will also affect the apps.
Since im exclusively on WiFi and only accessed on oublic WiFi networks i honestly thought the issue was local to me lol.
