I think I saw a comment somewhere about your IP being banned after an hour... anything we should do to avoid this? I'd hate to be scanning for 15 minutes only to be banned and not be able to help anymore.
- jacquesm 14y agoI got banned after doing about 4.7 G, if that is done a few thousand times because of this article it would make a huge difference. And they eventually would have to lift the bans.
- sp332 14y agoThe bans nominally last 24 hours. There was a point where there were so many IPs running (from AWS servers) they overflowed the ban list and the bans were shorter!
- frasierman 14y agoI didn't even think about AWS... someone should put together an article on how to set them up... I'd be happy to launch some instances for the cause
- ersii 14y agoWe've had a few guys using Amazon Web Services and continously rotate IP's/set up new instances - unfortunally, the last time we went too 'hard' on them - effectively making Posterous unavailable. We're thinking about this right now. Feel free to hang around #preposterus on EFNet for updates.
- ersii 14y agoEverything does however count. And if you run a single instance on your home/work connection - that'll be a little. Some is better than none :-)
- subsystem 14y agoDepending on your ISP, you can get a new ip by changing your mac address.
