Re: Forum Site Speed
Having spent time looking through the logs at that time it is apparent there is a high amount of attempt SSH login attemps from random usernames and multiple IP Addresses so the site appears to be under a brute force attack constantly between 06:30 and 10:30, those 100% CPU load times... I have increased the IP banning legth of time from 600 seconds to 1440 and hopefully this will act as a deterrent. I'll keep monitoring it.

Re: Forum Site Speed
Thanks for looking at this. Is it coming from any region and can that be blocked. Does the hosting company offer any ddos protection?

Re: Forum Site Speed
I've set it so that it bans IP's for 24 hours if a retry is performed within 24 hours with 1 retry... for some reason it won't let me do 0 retries. There is also now lots of attempts to log in to email accounts that don't exist and the hosting account...

Re: Forum Site Speed
Thanks for looking into this Peter. Funnily enough dealing with a ddos at work at the moment.

Re: Forum Site Speed
