Whatever it was that you did in the last hour or so has had a really beneficial effect. Thanks.

    I haven't done anything, but I suspect that either Leo or Olaf hit a config that priorizes logged-in users over anonymous connections.

    Personally, I'm still reading up on Varnish Configuration Language, but I have a good draft of what I want to use to block more bots at the edge.

    At least the part that I hoped that Fastly would fix seems to work. We don't exhaust TCP connections on the Pair machine anymore, and Fastly handles all of that.

      Experiences seem to vary, since my last post° some days ago I only saw

      Error 503 Backend unavailable, connection timeout Backend unavailable, connection timeout Error 54113 Details: cache-fra-etou8220144-FRA 1779011750 2446701888 Varnish cache server

      Update

      Oh sorry, I was missing the context of 3 posts up.

      Cheers Rolf
