/u/magnora7 another suspiciously upvoted nonsense post from a user with 1 previous post that's also probably machine-generated.

Thank you. This post also contains no useful information or any real topic of discussion, and has 17 astroturf votes, so I'm getting rid of it and banning the user

You're welcome. Low-quality posts like this makes lurkers not want to join in, so I'm happy to stop the feedback loop before it starts.
I assume you're doing IP bans?

Thanks. Yes, IP bans but the attackers all use VPNs so it almost doesn't matter

Forgive the ignorance, but won't they run out of VPN IPs? There's only so many free ones, and it would get expensive cycling paid for once, right?

For cheap VPNs, yeah. But they apparently have really good VPNs with literally trillions of free addresses they can change to at random. Either that or they're spoofing IPs, in which case they can have any IP

Uh more questions: I thought IP spoofing isn't possible under HTTPS because both parties have to agree on the endpoints and thus saidit would send the request to the spoofed address during negotiation, which would obviously fail and thus it would ignore any commands given. Is HTTP available when posting rather than just lurking?
And trillions? Even a thousand IPs would be very expensive for a VPN provider under IPv4, right? Or is IPv6 not blocked?

They use IPv6 and IPv4 both, randomly. They might not be spoofing, but they clearly have access to literally trillions of addresses

Not to be bothersome, but wouldn't it be a good thing to block all of IPv6? I'm unsure what downsides this would have, but it would certainly make IPv4 blocks feasible. Then the attackers VPNs would shrink until you only had new services popping up to worry about. Granted it's a popular market, but I would hope the psychological benefit of knowing only 'new' problems need be addressed would be invaluable. I'll confess that I don't know if there are actually 10,000 VPN IPs available to dedicated paid shills. I suppose it depends on the money backing them.
I'm normally not for this type of behavior, but the big boys often have internal lists of VPN IPs that they block. Not sure if they share these blacklists, however.

Seems quite heavy-handed. We'd also block about 1/3 of our legitimate users probably.
Also they have very good IPv4 VPNs, so it wouldn't even help anyway.
Yes they have literally trillions of IPs, and I'm not joking or exaggerating that number. We have been building a blacklist of IPs since this site started and it hasn't slowed them one bit

Sounds like what TOR does. Some nodes are v4, others are v6.
