Ongoing Name Server Attacks

FurrIX is seeing attacks on our name servers that have not let
up for a few hours now and as a result we have had to tighten
our rate limits and start dropping excessive traffic.

The way things are going, we will not be letting up on our rate
limits any time soon.

If you are being affected by these changes, you can send an
email off to ‘nameservers at marbledfennec dot net’ and request
a whitelisting that will bypass the limits. We will require knowing
you use case, however.

Agreement Reached with MFN

We’ve been working on our agreement with Marbled Fennec Networks
in the background and have reached what we deem to be an acceptable
way of moving forward and ensuring the survival of both projects, as
well as allowing us both to do our own thing on the same hardware.
This new version is what is being used to govern interactions and
responsibilities between both of our projects as of March 25th, 2026.

You can review the agreement at:

[Incident Report #031][NET] Connectivity Issues with 2602:F992:EC::/46

Update:
Appears our static route did not get migrated to the new hardware
at the data center. This has been resolved and our services should
be back online momentarily!

What Happened?
Our upstream provider performed some upkeep on the data center on
Mar 20th and since then our routed subnet has not be working properly.
We are looking into this as it affect our IPAM, NMS, PBS and a few other
services that assist us with managing our network.

This is also affects our secondary name server, as it currently does not
have IPv6 service.

We are seeing the following issues:

  • No IPv6 connectivity for NS2, affecting private and public resolution request
  • No PBS backups for either MFN, FurrIX or Maows.Gay
  • No NMS accounting or error tracking
  • No status graphs on our website are updating

What are we doing to work on this?

  • We have performed internal and external networking checks
  • We have reached out to our upstream provider with our findings

At the moment, we will have to wait to hear back from the data center.

Releasing Domains and Ongoing Amplification Attacks

FurrIX has chosen not to renew the domains ‘birb.rest’ and ‘avali.rest’ for cost reasons.
These domains are not a core part of our network stack and were only used for personal
splash pages and a handful of user subdomains that have not seen lookups in some time.
This should not affect our operations, or that our members, in any meaningful way.

We are also dealing with a DNS amplification attack that is abusing ANY queries and will be
temporarily dropping any IP address that cross over 40 request per second until the incoming
traffic targeting the domains starts to ease up. This has been going on for several hours and
we are working to limit the amount of traffic crossing or originating from our network.

Working on Restructuring FurrIX’s Web Presence!

Marbled Fennec Networks is getting ready to spin FurrIX off into a mostly standalone
project with its own policies, goals and operations separate from MFN. During this time
we will be working on updating FurrIX’s web presence and working on the policies to
begin operations.
