  • QOTD/UDP

    From Denn@VERT/OUTWEST to All on Tuesday, August 15, 2017 08:27:13
    Today my BBS was being attacked relentlessly by ip : 198.20.76.132
    it was hitting my QOTD service, I blocked the ip address it still kept hitting my BBS but with less effect, I then shut off my QOTD service and that stopped the attack.
    Is there anything I really need the QOTD service for?
