external ip was blocked by forum.. ended up being a good learning experience

ended up learning how to create alias hosts  with a ton of websites.    and sent them over a different gateway

brain got some new wrinkles this morning.  thumbsup :)

If you let me know the IP via PM I'll drop it from the ban list... probably from a spam account.

i would rather keep the spammers out.  it was a IVPN wireguard tunnel used at the time, so def shared address

been wanting to set this up for a while.   its strange only a few websites still do not work, im guessing they don't have their domain setup correctly.    no clue and not that important to me :)


is there a way to decrease the time it checks for hostname updates under alias?   or is 5-6 minutes expected

Ok makes sense.

I think the update frequency is hardcoded. Would make sense to raise a ticket to discuss this. In general the system is configurable but the GUI doesn't show.
