My WordPress still gets attacked, despite my visitors being practically null. As you can see, my visitors have declined by 50% since the attacks started happening. Whoever is doing it has succeeded, but I suppose they aren’t going to stop until my visitors are at zero. FYI, I don’t count the views because most of those are probably mine when I double-check the site or search for a previous post. I’ll admit that it’s discouraged me from posting. Most of the work that I’ve been doing is on YouTube (or Rumble) and working on Google Docs. I need to transfer some documents to my pages soon. Anyway, I appreciate those of you who continue to read my posts! Welcome to my new followers, as well!
The IP has changed but it’s still WordPress’ Automattic.
Yesterday, I was alerted by Netgear Armor that my device was under a DoS attack when I was trying to access my WordPress. I can only assume that someone has been attacking my site. This would explain why I haven’t been able to access my WordPress, yet I could access other WordPress sites.
I did some research into protecting my WordPress, from a denial-of-service attack, and there are a few ways to do it. One is with the use of plugins, but now you need at least a Creator account (which is $20 per month) to be able to use plugins with WordPress. Another is by using a content delivery network with DDoS mitigation capabilities. I chose to purchase an inexpensive web hosting plan (I’ve been planning on doing this anyway for the storage) with a CDN and DDoS mitigation.
If my assumption is correct and the cyberattacker(s) sees this, know that I have all of my research backed up. My web hosting service also backs up this blog.
I could just be paranoid, too. 🤷🏼♀️
Now, here’s the kicker: Part 2 Section 1b of the “Tik Tok Banning” Bill actually declares anyone assisting a user to access the App will be guilty of an offence and that clearly means VPN, so technically, it’s the USA that’s making them illegal, not China – what a turn up!!!
I’ve been using my VPN because I can’t access certain websites, for some reason. Websites from China-cn and Cuba-cu are two examples. I suspect that it’s my Spectrum internet because the websites work with my Verizon data (my internet connection is worse with Verizon than with Spectrum). Anyway, I found out that I can’t access the Philippines’ government website with my VPN set to certain locations (I usually use Chicago). Likewise, if I set it to Canada or Hong Kong, it doesn’t work. If I set it to Detroit, New York, Miami, Phoenix, Armenia, or India, it works. I haven’t tested every single location, though. I just find it interesting that they are blocking certain locations. It could be Surfshark, for all I know. 🤷🏼♀️
I’m seeing the same psyops play out regarding Turkey’s election that I’ve seen while covering previous elections.
Let ballot speak: Western media meddling Turkish vote as end looms
I can’t access Anadolu Agency, either, without a VPN (location set to Hong Kong).

For quite some time, TikTok has been recruiting former State Department officials to run its operations.
