Mine worked on a windows machine on the same network where my linux one won’t. It’s not an account issue.

Please keep us updated on this, but I don’t believe that is the issue because I was getting the error from about 4pm-5:30pm, but stopped getting the error around 6, then got the error again around 7:30. I’m almost certain this is on blizzards side.

Different machine, as in, different MAC?

Yep. Also changed my Linux MAC address to no avail

Another interesting point to note is towards the end of the DDoS’ around 7:15pm est when people were allowed to log in to the character screen (but couldn’t fully log in) I started getting this error again. It’s almost like they turned off a portion of their DDoS protection to allow us getting that error to log back in, but then turned it back on when the DDoS’ started back up.

It’s like we’re the corrupted blood pandemic and we (Linux users) must be contained For The Good of The Windows Userbase. Likely because the DDoS attacks are linux-based

Can’t connect here either.

EDIT: This command fixed it for me.

sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=128

I would think if this were a botnet attack it would be mostly compromised Windows boxes not *nix based systems. (Unless its an IoT thing…)

Well-said but there are other tools in Kali linux among others that are built to stress servers. It may not be Windows-based botnets.

Yeah, I would not be shocked if it’s Kali Linux botnets

I also wouldn’t be shocked if this takes days to get resolved. It seems like there weren’t any DDoS’ when I was getting this error. Then all of a sudden around 5:30pm est I stop getting the error. 30 minutes later the DDoS’ are back. Then the DDoS’ stop and I start getting the error again.
