Has anyone else noticed that HE.net / Fremont location has been getting ddos more frequently?

We had one in Newark last week, but Fremont is one every other day...

Dallas / Atlanta have been clean recently (knocking on wood)

I'm sure they'll nullroute the affected system shortly.

Fremont must be hosting hubs for Freenode IRC :lol: (Freenode gets way too many netsplits because of DDoD attacks)

And going completely on and offline.

I guess this is the straw: I think I'm going to move out of Fremont ... though I suppose I should wait until the net is a little stable.

Suggestions amongst Newark, Atlanta, and Dallas? Stability trumps latency for me. Is Dallas preferred for equalizing latency between the coasts?

Why do you assume those servers are immune?

If Linode can't keep one center working consistently, what's stopping the rest from failing?

thus far we are happy with Dallas and Atlanta

I'm using Newark.. The only time I got locked out is because I reformatted the hard disk partition containing my private key for ssh :) Other than messing things up on my own, I haven't noticed any problems at all with Newark. Ignoring self-created problems, though, the quality of my connection to my Linode has been dictated by the quality of the connection on my laptop.

I haven't used Atanta or Dallas, so I can't make any comments on those.

A good question. Linode hasn't actually said this is a ddos at this point. Is that certain? And if it is, is it certain that the target of the ddos is a linode customer as opposed, say, to some non-linode target at Fremont?

I know Fremont is HE. Anyone know about the other US datacenters? Is there something about dealing with HE as a network provider that makes Fremont more vulnerable/harder to defend?

How do you know? By packet loss? There's nothing on status.linode.com about that ...

None of the others are HE.
