Topic: Concerning the recent service outages

Dear teeworlds-community,

as you might have seen the website and more importantly the master servers have been unreachable a couple of times recently.
The cause for these outages are attacks on our severs. There is currently nothing we can do to solve this issue, but we are working hard on a solution though.
For now, we suggest to bookmark your favorite servers.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Update:
Masters are back, please restart your servers so they pick up the new IP addresses.

Re: Concerning the recent service outages

Thanks for the info, i thought i was the only one having trouble to load the server list. I don't know how this works, but some servers work just fine whereas others are completely gone. For anyone up for CTF2 on our clan server: 84.200.248.153:8303

Probably the DDoSers are also attacking servers.

That's a good question.

Re: Concerning the recent service outages

The german community is suffering from DDoS as well. But much more and for quite some time now.
It could be that the attacks are related. I'm currently focussed on one IP which I also gave to the police here in germany since it is a german IP and raised my suspicion. I'll keep you updated.

Re: Concerning the recent service outages

No need to apologize Landil! Just a question. Has the teeworlds community ever come up with a backup plan for instances like this? This is not the first time a ddos attack has taken down the master servers. Would it be possible for someone to set up a temporary master server and allow server admins to use it? Or is that kind of thing taboo for a multitude of reasons that I have not taken the time to think of?

It could be that the attacks are related. I'm currently focussed on one IP which I also gave to the police here in germany since it is a german IP and raised my suspicion. I'll keep you updated.

please send me the ip in a pm. We might have a look if we can relate it to an account.

No need to apologize Landil! Just a question. Has the teeworlds community ever come up with a backup plan for instances like this? This is not the first time a ddos attack has taken down the master servers. Would it be possible for someone to set up a temporary master server and allow server admins to use it? Or is that kind of thing taboo for a multitude of reasons that I have not taken the time to think of?

I am the wrong person to address this issue. Maybe minus can give an answer.

Re: Concerning the recent service outages

Ok cool, no problem. I was just curious.

Re: Concerning the recent service outages

Can you tell about the strength of the DDOS attacks ?

(I'm just curious, but imho you need a lot of bandwidth to kill all masters at once.)

My hosting provider also killed my monthly paid server due to DDOS attacks ( I was hosting block maps ).

I hope someone is getting caught.

Re: Concerning the recent service outages

New masters are in place, please restart your servers so they pick up the new IP addresses.

Doesn't the server automatically refresh the masterservers every few minutes ?

What does "refreshing masterservers" mean, if they don't refresh them ? wink

Re: Concerning the recent service outages

They rebalance between the known masters but do not look up the DNS records (master1..4.teeworlds.com) again, which is necessary though since the IPs changed.

Re: Concerning the recent service outages

Why dont you host the masterserver while you are connected to a VPN. The Attacks will then hit the wrong IP (The IP of the VPN and not your real IP).  When someone trys to DDoS me it works quite fine.

BTW I got two DDoS Attacks from two different Botnets. Ive got two lists with IP Addresses. It could possibly help you.
And as Teelevision has already said:

Probably because XXL64DDRace++ didn't get official like it should have been.

Re: Concerning the recent service outages

My servers also got ddos attacked over some weeks, but the last three days it went to a new level and my awesome webhosting provider just dumped my whole vserver. They now request a declaration to cease and desist from me because of it... I hosted the "TeeFoot: Football" servers, maybe some of you know them.
It's insane that not even the master servers are safe..
