I configured a Moscow proxy that is physically located in Moscow and redirects traffic to the actual HeroesWorld server. According to the hosting terms, the traffic is unlimited, but the channel is 100 Mbps. ping-admin.ru shows that the site was successfully loaded from almost all Russian locations that it has: https://ping-admin.ru/free_test/result/1771522996y6407mst1121ww8810tx9g.html Redirection to the proxy will occur automatically with 81% accuracy. A free database from db-ip is used. To manually switch to the proxy, use the following addresses:

At first, I thought it had resolved itself, but it turns out that's not the case. I logged in without my proxy, as usual.

I restarted the proxy, and it seems to be working now.

It probably got overloaded with requests and couldn't handle it. We need to add bot protection to it, otherwise they will consume resources that should be available to players.

Yes, it's working now. I just logged in without a VPN.

Additionally, I configured it so that all detected bots will be redirected back from the proxy, and the proxy itself should be able to restart if it crashes. I set up a 5-minute check to see if it can do that.

When there’s a surge in visitors, like in the attached image, the page loads slowly and results in a 504 Gateway Time-out error. The forum simply stops working.

I can hardly believe that the forum has so many guests... Maybe these are bots that the system doesn't track?

Yes, these are definitely bots, and we will continue to improve our methods of combating them.

There seems to be some strange 30-minute cycle in its operation. Approximately at the beginning of each hour, the site "crashes," "sleeps" for 30 minutes (again, approximately), then "wakes up," works for 30 minutes, and then the cycle repeats... Added 46 minutes later I'm writing this after another 30-minute "break"...

Indeed, strange behavior.

I restarted all services on the main server and the proxy server; if the issue was related to them, the situation should normalize. If not, I think it might be related to the influx of bots.

Currently, we don't have any special protection against them, but new software that will limit the bots' persistence will be added soon, which will improve our position in this fight.

In the coming days, we will be configuring an additional proxy, which should ultimately allow you to access heroesworld.ru without using a VPN or any other workaround.

During the configuration process, direct access through heroesworld.ru may be temporarily unavailable. During this time, it is best to access the site through ruproxy, which will continue to function for some time – up to a month – and will then be disabled once direct access is stabilized for everyone.
