I am using $10 ubuntu droplet for web scrapping using python. I scrap quora.com and I use luminati.io for IP proxies to avoid 423, 403 erros from targeting website. ( so far I scrapped 10,000 pages)
yesterday (17-07-2019 IST) I received a mail informing me that my droplet network is disabled because of, “… has been disconnected from the network after it contributed 49.9 Mbps to a 47.1 Gbps Distributed Denial of Service attack. The network traffic from your Droplet matches a pattern of malicious traffic originating from other Droplets targeted at a specific victim. …”
Who’s problem is this? is it my problem or Digital Ocean’s ??
the mail suggests me to choose one of three path further to recover or start fresh, but, I want to know about this issue and avoid such “errors” in future.
