After trying endlessly for two years to run a file sharing site with user anonymity we have been tired of handling the extreme volumes of people abusing it and the headaches it has created for us.
Maybe it is hard to understand but after tens of million uploads and many petabytes later all work of handling abuse was automated through all available channels to be fast as possible.
We have auto banned contents of hundreds of thousands files.
Banned file names and also banned specific usage patterns connected to abusive material to the point where we did not care if we accidental delete thousands of false positive in this process.
Even after all this the high volume of abuse will not stop.
This is not the kind of work we imagine when acquiring it and recently our proxy provider shut us down.
Not sure if people got it but it says : “you can get no info” in name servers. also the irony that njalla is the worst when it comes to hosting and domains
Had few of my friend’s running streaming sites get their domains suspended without notice and their servers too which were hosted on njalla. i have been hearing around forums that they are no longer DMCA proof and comply with companies pretty easily too.
Cloudflare (American) is a cancer in this case, cause they have an auto-ban feature, which instantly checks hashes of files in a blacklist and warns domain admins with following ban of dashboard.
And this not only goes to CSAM.

Curious if their proxy host was cloudflare or DDoS-Guard (Russian) or even a lesser known service.
Njalla 💪

Why are they the worst? So far I have only read the opposite, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m just not up to date

Maybe they can’t handle the amount anymore. Or maybe they have changed. Good to know this, thanks!

Yet most of the streaming sites use it.( yes i know streaming sites don’t host stuff on their own). there are only a few which can afford a paid cdn.
