What do these proxies do? Any IP address can become a RES proxy. I won't go into too much detail here, but if you find that your website is inaccessible and you are seeing an unusually high number of visitors, you have likely fallen victim to these proxies. Blocking them via the firewall is pointless, as an IP acting as a RES proxy today might not be one tomorrow. There are ways to protect yourself to some extent, provided you operate your own dedicated server and have root access.<br /><br />1.) Route your nameservers through a service like Cloudflare.<br />2.) Install Cloudflare Turnstile.<br />3.) Install the RES proxy filter from <a href="https://www.ip2location.com" target="_blank">https://www.ip2location.com</a>. You will need to register for this. The "Lite" filter is free and perfectly adequate; however, it must be updated regularly.<br /><br />If anyone is affected, I can provide a quick guide for setting up the filter. It isn't difficult, but root access is required.<br /><br />You will need to set up Turnstile yourself, as it requires two API keys, one of which is secret. Cloudflare provides instructions for this on their website.<br /><br />All of this is free of charge.<br /><br /><hr /><br />Liebe Mitglieder,<br />es gibt ein neues Verschleierungstool im Internet. Die sogenannten RES-Proxys. (Wohnort-Proxys). Was können diese Proxys? Jede IP kann zu einem RES-Proxy werden. Ich möchte das jetzt nicht weiter ausweiten. Wenn ihr feststellt, das eure Webseite nicht erreichbar ist und ihr eine ungewöhnlich hohe Anzahl an Besuchern habt, dann seid ihr Opfer von diesen Proxys geworden. In der Firewall zu blockieren ist sinnlos, denn was heute ein RES-Proxy ist, muß es morgen nicht mehr sein. Es gibt Möglichkeiten sich davor einigermaßen zu schützen, Voraussetzung, ihr betreibt einen eigenen dedizierten Server und habt Rootrechte.<br /><br />1.) Rootet eure Nameserver über z.B.: Cloudflare.<br />2.) Installiert von Cloudflare-Turnstille.<br />3.) Installiert von <a href="https://www.ip2location.com" target="_blank">https://www.ip2location.com</a> den RES-Proxy-Filter. Dazu müßt ihr euch registrieren. Der leichte Filter ist kostenlos und reicht vollkommen aus. Er muß regelmäßig aktualisiert werden.<br /><br />Sollte jemand betroffen sein mache ich für den Filter eine Kurzanleitung. Es ist nicht schwer, aber Rootrechte sind Voraussetzung.<br /><br />Turnstile müßt ihr selber hinbekommen, da dafür zwei API-Schlüssel erforderlich sind und einer davon ist geheim. Es gibt dafür auf der Seite von Cloudflare eine Anleitung.<br /><br />Das alles ist kotenlos.<br /> General Board - Is YABB Still Alive https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1776048970/32#32 YaBB Development & Mods/General Board https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1776048970/32#32 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (nixnut) Thu, 13 Aug 2026 23:11:10 GMT cheers Bill YaBB 2.7 Issues - /Sources/Subs.pm line 2149 https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1784511731/0#0 YaBB Development & Mods/YaBB 2.7 Issues https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1784511731/0#0 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (nixnut) Mon, 20 Jul 2026 01:42:11 GMT Subs.pm: Unescaped left brace in regex is passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\\s { <-- HERE yabbbr} / at ./Sources/Subs.pm line 2149., referer: <a href="https://up.1server.nz/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?catselect=general" target="_blank">https://up.1server.nz/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl?catselect=general</a><br /><br />        remove space after \s add \<br />fix > $message =~ s/\s\{yabbbr} /\n/gxsm;<br /> YaBB 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 Support - 2.6.12 links fixed https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1784385757/0#0 YaBB Development & Mods/YaBB 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 Support https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1784385757/0#0 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (nixnut) Sat, 18 Jul 2026 14:42:37 GMT since this is the release here is all the yabbforum.com links fixed<br /><br />ok, can't attach a file, download here<br /><br /><a href="https://myforum.nz/yabb-2.6.12" target="_blank">https://myforum.nz/yabb-2.6.12</a> YaBB Bugs - eventcal template? https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1784381303/0#0 YaBB Development & Mods/YaBB Bugs https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1784381303/0#0 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (nixnut) Sat, 18 Jul 2026 13:28:23 GMT which template does this use so i can add noindex nofollow?<br /><br />openai has been crawling 1 of my boards for hours with calendar active and it's going right back ad1 <br /><br /><a href="https://myforum.nz/demo/index.pl?action=eventcal;calshow=1;calmon=11;calyear=1599" target="_blank">https://myforum.nz/demo/index.pl?action=eventcal;calshow=1;calmon=11;calyear=1599</a>;<br /><br /><a href="https://myforum.nz/demo/index.pl?action=eventcal;calshow=1;calmon=12;calyear=1586" target="_blank">https://myforum.nz/demo/index.pl?action=eventcal;calshow=1;calmon=12;calyear=1586</a>;<br /><br /> YaBB Bugs - dead links to this site https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1784379142/0#0 YaBB Development & Mods/YaBB Bugs https://yabbforumsoftware.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1784379142/0#0 no-email@yabbforumsoftware.com (nixnut) Sat, 18 Jul 2026 12:52:22 GMT here is 2.7 with all the yabbforum.com links fixed<br /><a href="https://up.1server.nz/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl" target="_blank">https://up.1server.nz/yabb/yabb2/YaBB.pl</a><br /><br />when i find the boardmod links where should they point? or just delete everything to do with it?
