Hello,
in recent weeks i experience timeouts (times when i can not submit spammer) because my vbulletin forum timeouts with error like:
INSERT INTO glowhostspamomatic_log(`date`, `ip`, `email`, `username`, `message`, `is_blocked`, `user_hash`) VALUES (now(), "185.***", "***@gmail.com", "Deston", "Spam-O-Matic Tagged username - *** Unable to connect to StopForumSpam.com. This is probably due to some temporary problems on their website: Unable to check. User passed to vBulletin registration system per your settings at \'StopForumSpam: Query Connection Errors\'", "0", "3***");;
When i query SFS from my hosting server command line:
wget -O /dev/null stopforumspam.com
--2017-12-30 09:56:05-- http://stopforumspam.com/
Resolving stopforumspam.com... 104.27.54.74, 104.27.55.74
Connecting to stopforumspam.com|104.27.54.74|:80... failed: Connection timed out.
Connecting to stopforumspam.com|104.27.55.74|:80... failed: Connection timed out.
I checked my server firewall for "104.27.5" and found these SFS IPs being blocked, (iptables -L|grep "104.27.5";ipset list|grep 104.27.5;grep -Ril 104.27.5 /var/log) apparently because their IP was listed in abuseipdb.com and stopforumspam db itself, i may be wrong, but it ended up in my iptables ipsets dedicated to mentioned blocklists. Ipsets are populated by my custom bash script.
