Hello everyone,
as we were the target of yet another DDoS attack we have enabled DDoS protection for aur.archlinux.org, which does not yet properly handle incoming connections on port 22 (yet).
We are working with our provider to resolve this issue but wanted to ensure service reachability for everyone in the meantime.
Please check https://status.archlinux.org/ for updates on the situation!
Cheers, Chris for the Arch Linux DevOps Team
Thanks,
Seems this may be worse than past DDoS attacks. Beginning roughly 12 hours ago, connections were degraded, but you could still reach AUR. Currently, you cannot even connect to download a source package, e.g.
$ wg https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/vscodium-bin.tar.gz wget --no-check-certificate --progress=bar https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/vscodium-bin.tar.gz --2025-10-26 14:30:20-- https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/vscodium-bin.tar.gz Loaded CA certificate '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt' Resolving aur.archlinux.org (aur.archlinux.org)... 209.126.35.78, 2604:cac0:a104:d::2 Connecting to aur.archlinux.org (aur.archlinux.org)|209.126.35.78|:443... connected. GnuTLS: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated. Unable to establish SSL connection.
Here is to hoping this isn't an extended outage. It may be wise to delay dropping all the gtk2 and dependent packages to AUR until this clears up.
