Hello everybody!
I seem to have an ongoing problem. A problem that looks to occur on a daily basis
of late. BBBS presents me with:
"400 Sorry, No more free nodes, Try again later."
I have been using Iptables to try to manage the "Bot" connection attempts and it
has helped. But lately by the end of the day BBBS here is unreachable. I have started to restart the BBBS PC on a daily basis which has made BBBS available again. But sadly only for the day as by days end BBBS is out of free nodes again.
This has been a problem for BBBS for awhile now. I have tried several things to try to eliminate or at least reduce the problem. But sadly the issue remains.
I currently have 22 nodes available to BBBS. and the problem looks to exist regardless of service/port used. As http, Telnet, and BinkP are all effected.
So.. A couple questions. Is there a way to instruct BBBS to flush/close all open
connections without restarting the PC? (I know, not a solution)
Is there a more effective way to manage and eliminate spam/bot connections?
