on 29883 nothing changed many others converted to 6 digit node numbers, this was an issue before i made any changes. thought i would rebuild the majority of nodes first thought this was related to the issues with brian banning my ip address in the past. seems to be ok now ··· (click for more details)

29883 is showing on the stats server now. Did you change something?

Hi
My nodes (for example 29883) show green on the https://www.allstarlink.org/nodelist/ page
However they do not show up on the http://stats.allstarlink.org/ page.
And on the http://stats.allstarlink.org/getstatus.cgi?29883 fro the bubble chart is shows a black page with no bubble chart.

ARRG! That’s frustrating for you. I wonder why your node is doing that?. Mine never seem to. Do you turn you node off or is the IP changing frequently? I just wondering what might be different. Any thoughts?
this is not just one node it is any node on the same public address.
also a computer on the same public address via the router can not ping stats.allstarlink.org
Now if the last octet of the public ip address of the router is changed from 254 where it normally is to 136 all works as expected, thus it would seem that my public address is being blocked at allstarlinlk (see attached plots) bryan did this some time ago and it has worked intermittently since.
the IP never changes, no DHCP on the public (router) side and the nodes are not DHCP on the private side either.
i do have more than 30 nodes reporting behind the same router thus the same public ip address.
i do reboot nodes nodes from time to time when i am either testing or re configuring, one would think this should not cause this issue.
please help me to get this fixed.

I’ll ask our sysadmins to check if you are blocked. But a last octet of 254 is sometimes used for a router. Do you think that could be the problem? Can you ping 254 when you are not using it?
I recall some discussion a long time back where there was a rate-limit or block rule being tripped related to the stats server, due to the large number of (legitimate) nodes being NAT’ed out through the single IP address.
the service is a fiber delivered business class service in our server room 254 is a valid address on this service, no routers there.

Hi
also please note the trace route plots i sent, the plot ending in 254 goes all the way to the router 104.128.206.50 this appears to be the last router before just before stats.allstarlink.org , thus my ip address is working and this indicates that http://stats.allstarlink.org/ is not responding to my ip address ending in 254.

there may be a difference in methodology here, I am using a software called ping plotter and i am showing no ping response from the address ending in 254 however if i change to a different ip address it works. this is using the exact same equipment, computers, routers allstar nodes. Furthermore using the same equipment and changing the ip address on the router from 254 to a different ip address on the same internet circuit causes everything to work.
also pinging anything other than stats.allstarlink.org works as expected, such as 8.8.8.8, google.con, twitter.com all ping.
furthermore inbound connections to the HTTP server on port 80 of the 254 ip address (port forwarded in the router) work as expected
and inbound allstar connections for other nodes (not mine ) using the public internet connect as expected.
the only think that does not work is the http://stats.allstarlink.org/
thus as inbound connections to port 80 and to the allstarlink nodes work, outbound to everywhere else works (i am sending this email thru the same network using the .245 address, the same equipment on a different ip address solves the problem, the only thing left is that allstarlink has blacklisted and or blocked my ip address for reasons unknown, just like bryan has done in the past. and this has absolutely nothing to do with using .254 as this worked for years before bryan messed with blacklisting me.
this all started 8-12-2018 when bryan black listed 254 and has been intermittent ever since, before that it worked fine.
how do i get this resolved?

the service is a fiber delivered business class service in our server room 254 is a valid address on this service, no routers there.
it does not piing when i use it.

I recall some discussion a long time back where there was a rate-limit or block rule being tripped related to the stats server, due to the large number of (legitimate) nodes being NAT’ed out through the single IP address.

Our sysadmin says you are hitting firewall rate limits:
To keep people from flooding it and killing uhandler and apache there
is a limit of 20 new connections to 80/443 in 1 second and a max of
50 over 7 seconds. He is consistently hitting this limit due to his
flooding of stats from one or more private nodes
After hitting these firewall rules 100 times in an hour fail2ban will ban
you for 2 hours. You really have to be flooding the hell out if stats like
he is to trigger this rule and ban action
Ok so tell me what i can do to resolve, all nodes have the default settings.
that being said there are more than 30 nodes behind this router at this time with more to come.
are you then saying that allstar can not support this?
i am not being given much information on what to look for?
if something is broken i need more information to find it.
is this one node, a few nodes, all notes or the combination of all nodes.
or are you saying that allstar can not support support the large number of nodes? if so what is the limit?
to ban someone without giving enough information to resolve the issue and without notice ( things where working good for a little while) is outrageous.
to be clear the general statement
“You really have to be flooding the hell out if stats like
he is to trigger this rule and ban action”
is overly general, does not provide any information on which node is causing this, or exactly what can cause this.
i am use stock settings with respect to any reporting, i changed nothing thus i do not know where to look.
or is this due to the number of nodes behind the firewall?
Please more info

there may be a difference in methodology here, I am using a software called ping plotter and i am showing no ping response from the address ending in 254 however if i change to a different ip address it works. this is using the exact same equipment, computers, routers allstar nodes. Furthermore using the same equipment and changing the ip address on the router from 254 to a different ip address on the same internet circuit causes everything to work.
also pinging anything other than stats.allstarlink.org works as expected, such as 8.8.8.8, google.con, twitter.com all ping.
furthermore inbound connections to the HTTP server on port 80 of the 254 ip address (port forwarded in the router) work as expected
and inbound allstar connections for other nodes (not mine ) using the public internet connect as expected.
the only think that does not work is the http://stats.allstarlink.org/
thus as inbound connections to port 80 and to the allstarlink nodes work, outbound to everywhere else works (i am sending this email thru the same network using the .245 address, the same equipment on a different ip address solves the problem, the only thing left is that allstarlink has blacklisted and or blocked my ip address for reasons unknown, just like bryan has done in the past. and this has absolutely nothing to do with using .254 as this worked for years before bryan messed with blacklisting me.
this all started 8-12-2018 when bryan black listed 254 and has been intermittent ever since, before that it worked fine.
how do i get this resolved?

Hi
also please note the trace route plots i sent, the plot ending in 254 goes all the way to the router 104.128.206.50 this appears to be the last router before just before stats.allstarlink.org , thus my ip address is working and this indicates that http://stats.allstarlink.org/ is not responding to my ip address ending in 254.

Seems like a simple solution would be to whitelist that one static IP address. I currently count 42 public nodes behind that single IP address. That’s going to generate a LOT of legitimate stats traffic!
Our admin says you are registering and stat posting private nodes. If that’s not the case you can get with him to prove otherwise. I know you had a trouble in on this and the issue was not resolved. But that’s your only option at this point. I have no control of the firewall so there nothing more I can do. Sorry.
Just change the uhandler program to immediately drop private/invalid nodes and solve this problem.
Something like:
/* get all of the query fields */
f_node = getentry(“node”);
if ((!f_node) || (!alldigits(f_node)) || (*f_node == ‘1’) || (*f_node == ‘0’) || (*f_node == ‘3’) || (*f_node > ‘5’))
goto err;
why do i need to keep prodding for more information, allstalink should clearly and consistency giving all information when telling someone that they have a problem.
if you know it is a private node, tell the offender what privet node is causing the issue and how to fix it, why is this asking for too much.
i have a total of 3 private nodes here is from the iax.conf of each node
;register => 1128:@register.allstarlink.org
;register => xxxxx:yyyyyy@register.allstarlink.org
;register => 1129:@register.allstarlink.org
;register => xxxxx:yyyyyy@register.allstarlink.org
;register => 1127:@register.allstarlink.org
;register => xxxxx:yyyyyy@register.allstarlink.org
as you can see the line to not register is commented out.
if there is a private node left on by error more information will help to find it.
the WAN spans 2 States.
furthermore i find it hard to believe that even if my 3 nodes are where registering inappropriately that it could cause so much trouble that i need to be banned.
if errant data from 3 nodes can bring down the system i am surprised it works at all.
furthermore it seems to that allstarlink’s unwillingness to provide information and assistance tells mat they do not care to help, point fingers as this-is all i seem to get from allstarlink.
with by=ryans departure i thought allstarlink would improve i guess i was wrong.
instead of asking me to prove a negative (that i am not doing something) tell me what i need to know to resolve this issue.
as i keep asking please provide more information

What about all the number 1999 nodes that exist on every HamVoIP node by default? Are those all not registering or stat posting?
On HamVoIP, by default, the registration and stat posts for node 1998 and 1999 are commented out and only present as an example of how to configure for public nodes.
