Firewall config - Expect an outage this evening

The config has now been implemented on the firewall.

Total out of hours downtime: 6 minutes.

Thanks for your patience.

The scheduled maintenance is now underway. We'll keep you updated on our progress.

We have identified a network that is pro-actively targeting the server.

Due to the nature of the attack it is getting round our blocking triggers so we are going to block this network at the highest level on the firewall, this does mean we expect some downtime whilst the config is re-written.

We expect up to 20 mins of downtime and will of course do this out of hours around 8pm this evening.

We will of course keep the downtime to a minimum.
