Hi Folks,
Just for transparency, we've ran into a string of issues tonight that while looked related, turn out to be totally separate.
The first issue that was noticed and caused disruption was earlier this evening where players were getting kicked due to no login servers being available. This was the result of me applying some OS Patches to the Bungee when I was bringing a new server online. The patches included Java updates and for some reason they interfered with the certificate authority trust anchors and the bungee could no longer establish secure connections externally, as a result it failed to connect to Mojang's servers and players couldn't join. This issue was resolved Friday 28th October 2022 22:22:40.
The second and currently ongoing issue is the result of Hetzner, the company Steven purchased the physical server that runs Freedom-01, performing maintenance to their backbone infrastructure which we were not made aware of. For those curious this is the maintenance - https://status.hetzner.com/incident/970fe…11-9031024a9c86
This has caused significant increases in latency between our network proxy (bungee) and the Freedom server, resulting in the network believing the Freedom server is offline due to it's lack of ping response, this also started to cause players to get significantly higher pings as I suspect traffic was getting re-routed elsewhere.
We can't do a lot other than wait for the maintenance to be complete before restoring the server, apologies for what has been a bit of a mess.
