Seun my darling, my handsome bulgy eyes billionaire, oya chop 💋 kiss.
I v a request, free all those in nairaland prison and let people pray for you. I mean unban all that were banned.
I ll mobilize them to hold special prayers for you & nairaland in the shrine make any body nor dey hold ya blokkos.


Don't thank him. He's a learner. He should host this site on a private server. Imagine how cloudflare is dragging his blokkos on top an abuse he overlooked? https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/nairalands-server-taken-down-because-i-overlooked-an-abuse-report-says-founder/%3famp
Does cloudflare know how many mad people we are caring for on this site?
Putin or Kim Jung Un can't manage nairaland
It's extremely crazy here!
Cloudflare didn't take down Nairaland server. Infact Cloudflare is not a webhosting company. Also note that the take down was not due to comments here, there is another serious reason eg. a fake address of the website owner in the Whois record of Nairaland can lead to a take down. Or the upload of prohibited files on the server by the owner eg. a malware or Trojan or even using Nairaland server as a C&C to control a Botnet. Finally we cannot rule out the possibility of self take down carried out by Seun Osewa in the incident of a hacking that occurred, in this case a self takedown is to clean up the server and get rid of any malicious file or program. Explanation is needed from Seun Osewa.

Nice one.

Seun can you please elaborate on the abuse post that caused the site to go off perhaps people will have a better understanding and prevent such from recurring.

Exactly. I was looking out for that in his write up, but he chose to leave the most important information out of his write up.

Mind you even if Punch newspaper published a misleading story, we must not help them to spread it because by doing so we are authenticating the fake news. Do Punch newspaper even have a Computer/Cyber security expert?

Guys, let this be a warning for all of us to stop all the tribal and antisemitic comments if we truly love Nairaland ❤
Thats all I can say for now.
no be only antisemitic abuse. As long as Israel continues to murder women and babies, our mouth will not be shut. Go to IDF terrorist X page, we dey there. Naftali page , we dey der, antisemitic propaganda page we dey der. Israel should stop killing women and babies.

Please, this should not happen again.

Forum members should learn civility and avoid ethnic profiling and "cuss" words.
Mods should be up and doing, ensuring the Forum is sanitized.
Bots or algorithms should be deployed to take down offensive posts ASAP.
Management should run business continuity tests periodically and have contingency plans in place

I know how many times I have refreshed this site in the last 3 days.

Thank God it's back now.


Honestly, it made me value Nairaland more than twitter.

What is the basis for your anger? Or is it that you misunderstood me? I said Cloudflare is not the webhosting company that took down Nairaland. Cloudflare is just a Content Delivery Network (CDN). Meaning Cloudflare can't take down Nairaland. The official webhosting company that took down Nairaland is called OVH SAS,and the server is located in Granville, France.
Re: Nairaland Is Partially Back; A Work In Progress by o123456789(m): 12:34pm On Dec 22, 2023
Those people advising Seun Osewa to get his own server to host Nairaland are just telling him to permanently shutdown Nairaland, because it is clear that Seun cannot handle the high level of cyber attack that will face Nairaland... Come to think of it Seun Osewa felt like a god to the extent he ignored abuse report from his hosting provider, then you expect him to do what with his own server? Bottom line is if Seun Osewa should host Nairaland on his own webserver then he must be ready to follow all international abuse rules, else the domain name (Nairaland.com) will be seized. Then you get something like Nairaland.org or Nairaland.co, if things should go this way then Nairaland is dead.

Ok. Tell Seun to host this site on private server make OVH SAS no dey hold his blokkos. Moreso, why do we see cloudflare interface before logging in or attaching pic?

Yes, we see Cloudflare when we login to Nairaland, because Nairaland uses Cloudflare as a CDN to make the website more faster during browsing. And Cloudflare is also an anti DDOS service. On the other hand I will not advise Seun Osewa to do self hosting, as this will give him the false impression that no matter the abuse Nairaland can't be taken down, but simple truth is that the domain name nairaland.com can be seized and if the abuse is against the USA, UK or Australia, anything connected to Nairaland.com including buildings, computers, vehicles etc can be confiscated for ever. My advice to Seun Osewa is to continue to use paid webhosting and also take abuse report seriously.

Where in Nigeria will you get 100mbps dedicated for ₦100k? I'm on 10mbps dedicated with static IP on FibreOne. And I pay ₦170k. Tell me which ISP in Nigeria provides 100mbps for ₦100k monthly and I will have them install at my place this night. No long story...I just need the ISP name. FibreOne sef have been acting up lately so I'd be more than happy to switch provider to one that is 10x faster for 41% reduced price...that's ₦840k savings annually. Let's forget about whether NL can be hosted in Seun's house or not. I need to know the ISP that does 100mbps for ₦100k. I've been over paying for two years now


Edit: Same 100mbps dedicated from FibreOne is going for ₦800k. So I'm really interested in the ₦100k/month for 100mbps
There are many, such providers but all depends on your region. By dedicated it means you wont drop below the 100mbs not a dedicated line.

Give me the name of one located in Lagos that does 100mbps dedicated for ₦100k per month. I need one for my home office.

PS: I know what dedicated means, I wasn't asking for a dedicated line

Shouldn't that resilience also be transferred to dealing with the issue that caused the problem in the first place? Nairaland in the last 10 years has deteriorated from a place of interesting discourse to a cesspit of tribalistic drivel. That's where the resilience should be focused on, cleansing the forum of that tribalistic cancer


Absolutely agree.
The focus should indeed be on rectifying the underlying issue that has led to the decline in Nairaland's quality over the years.
Prioritizing efforts to cleanse the platform of the tribalistic content is crucial in restoring its integrity and ensuring it fosters healthy, constructive discussions.

Seun:
Dear Nairalanders and Advertisers.

Nairaland's server was taken down by our host's abuse team because of an abuse report that wasn't attended to on time.

After rectifying the error, we brought the server back for a few minutes, but they decided to take the server down again. Since then, we haven't heard from the abuse team, yet the support team keeps insisting that only the abuse team can help us.

So we had to transfer Nairaland to a temporary host in order to bring it back to you. A VERY time-consuming process. We are not fully back, even though most features of the site are working. We still have a long way to go. Additional downtime is likely; don't let it alarm you.

There's a lot more to say, but I have to go back to work to ensure that our return is permanent. Please forgive us for the stress we caused. We appreciate the love and support that you showed us during the ordeal. Nairaland is too important for us to let this happen again.

Best Regards,
Seun Osewa.
@Seun,
Nice to have this Website back. I was on NL the very day it suddenly lost host connection and I got to know finally through Punch newspaper online and several online media that you posted on X that Cloudflair suspended NL temporarily. I tried visiting alternate Websites but NOTHING compares to Nairaland with that eye-friendly green monochrome background.

I've been a veteran NL member since 2005 with an older account and will continue to be.
You also have to start working on putting in place a major contingency plan in case you are indisposed and not readily gonna be available so that NL can continue to function without you.

Welcome back again.

As innnnnnn! I've seen a lot of people running around with this narrative of "build Nairaland server". Let's not even talk about the cost of building out a data centre. Just the cost of building defences to protect the site from hackers alone will empty Nairaland's bank account
They don't about that.

Nairaland best bet is hosting on a managed virtual server.
