Seeing what appears to be a distributed scrape or AZ coming from multiple network from multiple overseas locations. From what I can tell predominantly bon English speaking countries.

I've had to be pretty heavy handed with the catpcha challenges for those countries for now. It seems to have helped, will keep an eye on things. Hopefully not too much collateral damage to legitimate users....

That'd be sweet. I'm in Germany and so far none of the apps work. Just using my phones browser at this point.

I've made further changes... what app do you usually use? Worth trying again now, please let me know how it goes.

I use jerboa. I have just tried and it seems like it's working. Cheers. I'll keep you posted if things change though.

Thanks for the hard work mate.

Thanks, that confirms some of the changes I've made are working.
