Hello,

 

We also had a similar issue in 2019

 

May 2019             6768.16 GB

Jun 2019               4571.42 GB

Jul 2019                5033308.72 GB

Aug 2019              1665015.47 GB

Sep 2019              480864.23 GB

Oct 2019               7492.56 GB

 

All of the increase in traffic was China networks.

In my case we waited it out and still have about 50% over normal from China.

We were wondering what CentOS’ position on geoblocking is?

 

Good day,

 

Didier

Hello,

 

We also had the same problem and blocked China. Problem solved.

Hi Thomas,

 

You could simply use GeoIP Blocking to filter out any traffic from China. Here's a link to achieve this for Apache: https://www.cloudibee.com/geoip-based-country-blocking-for-apache/.

Christopher Hawker

We can confirm being hit by 27.221.66.0/24 pulling the same iso as well.  What action was taken to address this by your networks?

Thanks,

Have you noticed that in your mirrors? look for these IP and notice if they have been trying to continously download iso

We did encounter the same issues with the same IP addresses and same iso file. Till now I thought it was an isolated issue..
