Flood from IP address

[girl who loves to chat]

I have PM Manu and Laurel. Have sent messages to webmaster. I have had no response. Whenever I try and search stories I get this message:

Flood detected from your IP address!
Please contact webmaster@literotica.com if you have questions.
The incident was logged.

Any suggestions as to what I can do yo correct this?

they're usually pretty responsive. a quick google search turns up this.

apparently your router settings need to be adjusted. you'll likely need to dig out the owner's manual if you aren't technically-inclined to figure out how to do this.

You may have this backwards, Ed.

Lit is saying that girlwholoveserotica is sending too many requests too quick.

You link is about receiving too many requests too fast.

I managed to trigger this message from Lit once, when I had a download manager try and fetch everything from a page (all at the same time). When I realized what was happening and stopped it, Lit started responding normally.

Finding the actual piece of software that's hitting Lit too hard might require some heavy technical work with tracing, etc. But start by looking for some sort of "accelerator" feature that "pre-fetches" links, or an add-on that tries to save a page for offline use.

Also try a different browser to narrow down the list of suspects, and start the suspect browser in "safe mode" or with all add-ins disabled. If that works, add things back until you find the culprit.

apparently, being hung over & fatigued is not a great time to troubleshoot. :>

I get it too, when using a somewhat nondescript mobile browser. It it's annoying, but the somewhat nondescript mobile browser is my chosen anonymous surfing method on my phone, glitches and all. Give a different browser a try. Mobile browsers often utilize "accelerators" too, a data savings tool that includes methods you'd rather not think too much about. Turn off if you can.

I mostly get it when using search stories and viewing random search terms, fwiw. And to be neutral on the blame front, it only happens here.

caused by browser preloading linked pages

I had this issue and resolved it by turning off the settings in browser that cause it to preload linked web pages in the background. When this was enabled, on a search results page the browser would preload immediately every result.
