The IRC plague continues, from lots of random IoT devices, not AWS anymore. Channels that are feeling annoyed by join/part messages can try channel mode +D (delayed joins)

We (Like many other IRC networks today) are experiencing an attack from cloud services, mainly AWS. We are rolling out a network wide soft-ban (Login required) for all AWS & google cloud ip space. See afternet.org/loc for help logging in. @awscloud @googlecloud

We just fixed ours. Your most recent 2 servers were not in our list, apparently.

We are accelerating our SSL Certificate upgrade process, as it looks like some operating systems have begun removing startcom.

Unrelated note: 1/3 of you now use SSL to connect to AfterNET which is great. afternet.org/help/connecting… if you want to learn more

Our own hosted ZNC bouncer is back online. afternet.org/help/connecting… let me know if you see any problems!

Yes our ZNC bouncer is down. We lost hosting for it. We are working on rebuilding it on a new host but it is kind of involved. Soon!

@mikekasprzak We have replaced the certificates in both webchat interfaces.. (qwebirc.afternet.org and kiwiirc.afternet.org). Better?

Yeah, Chrome invalidated all the startcom ssl certificates. Firefox invalidated only 'new' ones, so we weren't expecting breakage. fix soon.

znc.afternet.org, AfterNET's own hosted ZNC Bouncer, is working again. see afternet.org/help/connecting… for info about how to use it.

Our znc.afternet.org IRC bouncer is down. We do not have an ETA yet. Please go directly to irc.afternet.org in the mean time.

We are investigating a network blip at one of our servers. Things seem to be back to normal now, though. Try again...

FYI we are turning off DNS response for *.afternet.org. Used to be anythingyouthinkof.afternet.… was an alias for irc.afternet.org. Now not

Thanks everyone! We exceeded our SSL certificate fund-raising goal in only 1 day. Shiny new wildcard cert coming soon...

It is SSL certificate fund-raising time again. Thanks if you can help! gofundme.com/afternet-ssl-ce…

Our website is down due to an outage at the hosting provider.

Everything is back to normal

We are recovering from a failed disk. Authentication and channel services are offline. Should be resolved shortly.
