I bought a new network “level 3” honeypots online. These are my first located in “hostile” countries. Bringing the current Level 3 list to over 189,000 entries.
Thanks!
Your blacklist works well again!
Thanks!
No problem, and I’m sorry about the downtime.
I’ve changed the policy on my servers so that Google can not longer preempt mine to make room for higher paying customers. Not happy that it’s adding another $50/month onto my bill, but I can’t have them dropping me because someone bigger wants my cpu or memory.
What are everyone’s thoughts on using Patreon for the subscription service?
I’ve started setting up a page here: https://www.patreon.com/IntrusTechnologies
Once I have everything linked, the existing scripts will stop working and I will post the current scripts on the Patreon page.
The new script will not require any modification, as the server will select the list based on your router’s serial number and IP address.
The system will also disable accounts that are using forged serial numbers or IP addresses.
How much memory use on routers with these Blacklist Filters?
It’s hard to give accurate numbers, but it looks like the List 1 uses about 768k, List 2 uses 3M, and List 3 uses 54M to load and 50M once the load is done. The other two load too fast on my RB110AHx4 to see the memory load update.
What do you think about this service?: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/moab-mother-of-all-blacklists/122053/1
Any estimate regarding the end-of-service date as it is? I have to convince my boss of the benefits of being a paying member of the community and I do not want to be caught offguard.
Keep the fantastic work!
I think it’s a ripoff of my project by someone that hasn’t been a part of the community as long as I have. I think I am far more transparent in the development process.
OK, now I’ll be clear here 
Thanks.
Will test how much RAM a RB2011 needed. Only with priority 2
or priority 1 + drop.malicious.rsc
PS:
SBL Malicious IP Blacklist from: https://www.squidblacklist.org is free of charge.
The goal is NO end-of-service date. This started out as a project out of a personal need, I shared it with the community because I thought others could use it too. Last year, the original service hit just over 17,000 active devices. I realized that several LARGE businesses were using the service and SELLING IT to their customers. At that point I felt that it was “fair” for me to be paying several hundred per month for servers and honeypots out of pocket, while others were making money off it it.
My vision is to have a service that is simple to implement, stable, secure, fast, and self-sustaining. Once the income is able to cover the expenses, and it is able to keep running without me, then I can focus on bringing new features and adding support for new platforms.
I don’t want or plan to get rich from this. I want to provide a valuable service at a price that anyone can afford.
As for yearly payments - At this time, I am going to keep it monthly. I don’t want to accept a payment for a year of service before I know the service will be able to sustain itself.
I compared mine with that one - All of the IP’s in that are also in mine. The key difference is the delivery method. My .rsc is much smaller and processed faster.
Would be nice to be able to select priority 1, although you have paid for priority 2.
Uh, monthly. I hope the monthly payment can be automated.
When I asked about the end-of-service as it is I was referring when the current scripts will be deactivated and only working via Patreon.
I think I understood since the beginning the kind of project you are running, for you and for the Community, and I cannot see any flaw in you reasoning. You are giving a lot to the Community and it is only fair to try to cover expenses.
My goal is January first.
After January first the current your script will not work?
Payment is automated via the Patreon page. Each Tier includes the Tier below it. I’ve updated the tires on the page to better explain what you get.
