for many years i have been connecting to rclone forum using firefox over mullvad proxy server
for the last several days, i am not able to connect to rclone forum when using mullvad proxy server.
anybody else experiencing this issue??
i have tested firefox and mullvad browser, both now fail.
if i disable the proxy and connect direct, then it works.
I was having identical problem just hours ago. Without any proxy on a residential IP.
lol, i guess your new favorite number is 429
as you get 429 with google and 429 with rclone forum
Everyone is trying to limit me 
There is a limit per login per IP and it was 6 per minute. That's the only rate limit I see offhand. I upped it slightly. Can you test?
I don't think that limit was it. Under the covers, there is a policy with Nginx bundled with discourse:
params:
reqs_per_second: 12
burst_per_second: 12
reqs_per_minute: 200
burst_per_minute: 100
conn_per_ip: 20
I'd imagine based on the logs, the shared IPs for a VPN might hitting that limit I guess. I need to dig a little more.
yeah, it is a shared ip, but over the last few days, my machine would have randomly picked a different ip address.
and 3+ years, never had this issue, with the exact same setup.
and in firefox, i must have 20+ tabs open.
this only happens with https://forum.rclone.org
but so far, not happening to https://rclone.org/
Discourse uses a built in Nginx and rate limiting so wouldn't be related to rclone.org as I am pretty sure he runs that off Caddy.
ok, that makes sense.
did you restart the discourse server?
Oh, I was having this just hours ago. Without any proxy on a residential IP.
I think this might be it.
Before opening my issue, I was doing a lot of research, reading through existing issues with a lot of tabs open.
I started working again once I closed all the tabs and backed off for a while.
20+ tabs open is not a lot.
and for sure, that is not the issue.
What about these poll requests?
But yeah, it still won't be anywhere close to 10s of requests per second.
The NGinx rate limiting should be resolved.
@Animosity022, thanks for the private message and working to fix this.
lol, i felt naked without mullvad
Thanks for fixing it 
Did you up the nginx limits?
I wonder whether the forum is growing out of its VM - maybe we need a bigger one.
I’ll send you a message as it wasn’t super obvious.
limits for logged in requests are a mistake in my opinion.
it drove me away from wikipedia btw. i just read it now and force myself to not fix anything i see wrong.
