    [Solved] Tommy down

    in Customer Service

    Posted

    I think there's some stuff Krydos can try, but we're gonna see if it subsides first most likely. We're not even sure it's the same attacker, but it's reasonable to believe so considering the attack started within 24 hours of Johnny being pulled for maintenance.

     

    Good news is that Tommy is beefy enough that he doesn't just collapse from the load caused by Apache and the firewall trying to block it. Apache is overwhelmed by the botnet, but everything else on him should be working just fine. cPanel, FTP, and email are up. Just the actual web server that isn't. Johnny on the other hand couldn't handle the load and basically folded under pressure.

    Well, I wish you luck guys! I assume you can't use cloudflare because of the way domains are managed, but it would be good idea if possible

    [Solved] Suspended: Me

    I assume this is because of the WordPress hack, because I use it on my site. I'm perfectly happy to create a new account if necessary, but would it be possible to download everything in my ~/html/telebots directory? I can't access the cpanel to download the code from there.

    SSL Certificate resets to self-signed every ~24 hours

    in Customer Service

    Posted

    Been having this issue for about a week, but it seems it won't be going away for the moment, so I'm making a post about it.

     

    As the title implies, every 24 or-so hours, my ssl certificate from Let's Encrypt resets to self-signed. This is a pain (obviously), as it gives warnings to anyone who vists my site, and messes with my Telegram bot webhooks. I will point out that my SSL is close to expiry (about a week), but I don't see that this would be an issue.

    [Solved] Disable Automatically populating $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA

    in Escalated Requests

    Posted

    For a while now, I have been getting this error

    [28-Jan-2018 00:19:44 UTC] PHP Deprecated:  Automatically populating $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. To avoid this warning set 'always_populate_raw_post_data' to '-1' in php.ini and use the php://input stream instead. in Unknown on line 0

    I don't have access to the php.ini for my account, so I'd be great if you could disable that. I don't know if changing the setting applies to all users, but if so, I'll just suppress the warnings.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Linux Install

    This is the worst advice. DO NOT download or install .deb's. it's rarely/never needed. Chrome is a exception, not a rule.

     

    I agree, for one, there is no cryptographic verification going on when you download deb files, and also, handling dependencies is very time consuming.

    APT does both these things automatically.

    Tips for sending emails

    in Website Management and Coding

    Just thought I'd make a post to outline some tips for email security.

    I've noticed that emails sent to Hotmail/Outlook get moved to the spam folder automatically, even if you are not blacklisted.

     

    The solution is to make sure you use SPF, DKIM and DMARC.

     

    HelioHost has DKIM support built-in, in Authentication page in the Email section.

    If you intend to use Cloudflare, make sure you have enabled DKIM before changing to Cloudflare's nameservers, to make sure the TXT DNS record with DKIM information is copied.

     

    SPF is pretty easy, and can be setup from the Authentication page in the email section, and will be copied if you setup Cloudflare at a later date. You can, however setup SPF after moving to Cloudflare, as no keys are required.

     

    DMARC, as far as I'm aware, is not officially supported by HelioHost, but setup isn't too difficult. You'll first need to create an email address for reports to be sent to, then you can either read up on the syntax and write your own DNS record, or use an online generation service. I recommend the former, as it will give you better knowledge of how the technology works. After you have crafted the record, simply add it to your DNS zone as a TXT record, either through HelioHost or another DNS provider if applicable.

     

    Thanks for reading, let me know if you think I got something wrong ^_^

    That one is small, but legible enough I think.

    I do a bit of graphic design, so I might touch it up a bit in my free time

    Just made this thread to say how much I appreciate the work and funds you guys put into running this service, and how much it has helped me as a student without the money to buy a paid service from a company like Hostinger.

     

    It is your service that allows me to explore programming in PHP, HTML and much more. To date I've setup a couple of chat bots that do all kinds of things, like getting Google photos, urban dictionary definitions and much more. I wouldn't have been able to achieve this without the work you guys put in.

     

    So for this, I say wholeheartedly, THANKYOU!
