GMGN Lianchuang: The platform encountered intermittent traffic attacks that affected the user experience. We plan to stop whitelisting some crawler IPs in the future

Odaily Planet Daily News GMGN co-founder Haze posted on X platform, "The platform has been under intermittent traffic attacks recently, with the goal of shutting down our website. But we have always withstood it. We have not issued a notice every time. At about 8 o'clock this evening, a large amount of traffic poured in instantly, causing the website to pop up a human-machine verification window. The website did not crash, but it affected the user experience. GMGN also opened a crawler IP whitelist for many community users (some users who can do data analysis, small products, and small businesses by themselves). It was basically opened with 0 conditions, and even if there was a condition, we basically did not review it. So there are still many community users' crawlers on our website. In the future, we plan to deal with traffic attack incidents and ensure user experience. We plan to strengthen traffic countermeasures. We also plan to start stopping some crawler IP whitelists."
