In reply to BoonEx Under DDoS Attack

sonnarinternet•2nd of April 2011

We tried disabling the Boonex feeds on the Admin panel and although that helped, page load times were still *Very Slow*. Why not design Dolphin including Admin so that there is ZERO dependence on Boonex.com and it never needs to "phone home"? Given the DDoS attacks that Boonex has suffered, wouldn't this make sense?

I suppose it could be improved, but the script still needs to be able to communicate with the BoonEx server for things such as licensing.

@Magnussoft - Perhaps for those that wish we could pay a small fee to remove that license check and another such nuisance to not affect other Dolphin sites.

It does not make sense to hold the rest of the sites "Ransom" so to speak.

@presscon: I don't see how that's the case.

If the server goes down, the worse that happens is the administration panel may take longer to load due to the feeds, which can be removed with the change of two settings and the possible file edit. The only time you should problems with the license is when applying a new one.
