If you check user IPs they are all from that address, right? You’re using a reverse proxy (something like nginx-proxy, perhaps), right? You need to add something like this to your app.yml after_bundle_exec: - replace: filename: /etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf from: "types {" to: | …

Have you not updated your os in those many years? Could the host machine have been hacked? Those ip addresses look like they are coming from the same machine.

I plan to do a reinstall in 2-3 months [изображение] pfaffman: Could the host machine have been hacked? it doesn’t looks like but, this can be hard to know, on the other side the spambots are not massive (but it was massive a few days ago, for some reason I got massive spam 2 hours after cha…
