HELP: under attack from Chinese spam forums
so have this small site on one of my servers, a string of chinese spam forums is trying to hotlink 3 galleries, basically making my server unreachable:
they are maxing out Apache MaxClient with too many requests
mind you hotlink protection is on, the amount of 404 is enough to create 2GB a day in transfer
the first day, when hotlink protection was off, 1 gallery caused 57 GB of transfer!!!!
Does anyone know how to stop these requests before they hit Apache?
Those idiots at Serverbeach support are useless, they suggested to upgrade the server
