remote Receiver abuse

[bminish]

Someone is running "wsprdaemon_v2.10j" on 3 out of 4 of the available public instances on my kiwi sdr.
I don't mind one on occasion, but using up all the slots is rude and denies other users of airtime.

what happens if multiple users start running this project, will we see all the better receivers choked up gathering essentially the same decodes ?

On the Admin->Network page of your Kiwis you can add the intruder's IP address to the blacklist.

Doesn't help me much if the abuser is dynamic & in any case I'm probably ok with one instance (& perhaps more if someone gets in touch and convinces me that they are doing something interesting )

Those of us who operate public Kiwi sites like KPH, KFS or my AI6VN/KH6 have had to configure long blacklists to keep the Asian bots off our systems. You can also set daily usage time limits and offer passwords to those you want to have unrestricted access to your Kiwis. What is your site?

This one is the first 'bot' I have observed.
Yes I do have daily time limits & passwords set, but there's a balance to be struck here as I do genuinely wish to offer a decent amount of airtime to humans who might like to listen to shortwave.
