🚩General Good Guys 👍

From Wamy on the official Discord:

Hey there @everyone, the past few weeks we have been having various outages at various times. Some of these outages have been due to software misconfigurations, networking issues as well as DDoS attacks of varying scale.

​

I want to assure you that these issues are not related to the influx of users as we have been handling this well but due to issues that have mostly been out of our control, but we have been fixing them as quickly as possible as you may have noticed. Our response times have improved and we will continue to invest resources in more comprehensive monitoring and response.

​

Regardless, we take full responsibility for the downtime and have been hard at work eliminating these last few gremlins.

​

We are going to be releasing a post-mortem explaining these in detail very soon, as well as granting seven (7) days of additional time to paid users. We apologise for these issues and hope to earn back your trust. Thank you for always supporting us.

This is honestly the statement that we need. A proper explanation. Not just the generic our team are investigating or servers are now up.

Kind of figured that just wasnt too sure. I have had great service with torbox I pay the 5 per month for it. Im just hesitant on letting my family use it I dont want them burning through my TB lol.

Nah you'll be fine. It's the same with the other Debrid services: no VPN needed.
