Hey All,

I've noticed an increasing amount of malicious web traffic lately.
Note sure if it's causing the CloudFlare errors some of you are getting, still looking into that.

However, for the geeks, I've added extra rules to ModSecurity to hopefully reduce this.

The only problem: there is a chance of false positives and legitimate traffic is blocked.

If you get any 403 forbidden errors, please let me know and I'll see if I can add an exception.

If too many of you are getting errors, I'll reduce the rules.

It had been bad a couple of days ago (for a week or so), the last couple of days haven't been as bad. Nothing but 520 errors like someone mentioned the other day.

Yep. Here's a couple of errors I'm seeing.

EDIT: Nevermind, I can upload images, but can't attach them. Anyway, here's a link on the page I went to grab explaining 5XX errors..
