LTT Firefox plugin always going down?

Textosterone · August 16, 2015

After like an hour of not being on LTT forum the plugin on firefox says that LTT is down and when i go on the website i get this message https://gyazo.com/9240e5c37acd1d156555ec2f31903dba

and then the plugin would say LTT is back up.

It's the DDoS protection.

I can only guess it does not allow connection to pass to the "real server" until it verifies the client.

It's because of the idiot that was hitting us offline, so somebody finally enabled the DDoS protection thing.

That page requires that you leave it open for 4 seconds, at which point it confirms that you're not a bot and connects you to the site. Unfortunately, the LTT Notifier wasn't built with that page in mind, so if that page appears, it just assumes that the site is down, rather than waiting. There's nothing we can do about it a the moment - it is required to ensure that the site remains online.
