Releasing Domains and Ongoing Amplification Attacks
FurrIX has chosen not to renew the domains ‘birb.rest’ and ‘avali.rest’ for cost reasons.
These domains are not a core part of our network stack and were only used for personal
splash pages and a handful of user subdomains that have not seen lookups in some time.
This should not affect our operations, or that our members, in any meaningful way.
We are also dealing with a DNS amplification attack that is abusing ANY queries and will be
temporarily dropping any IP address that cross over 40 request per second until the incoming
traffic targeting the domains starts to ease up. This has been going on for several hours and
we are working to limit the amount of traffic crossing or originating from our network.

Getting Ready to Take Over Name Servers
The FurrIX NOC is getting ready to take our the name servers from
Marbled Fennec Networks. This move will place the name servers
into FurrIX control and add them into our workflow directly instead
of having to go through MFN for changes and updates.

Dropping Traffic from Singapore
We have been seeing absurd amounts of wordpress attack traffic and just really odd DNS traffic coming from the country of Singapore. For the time being, we have updated our network rules to drop traffic originating from the country. This is a network wide decision affecting our our routers.

Agreement with Marbled Fennec Networks
With FurrIX being spun off from MFN and into its own project, theres a loose agreement in
place that benefits both projects and allows them to coexist on the same physical servers
and routers. Mostly in who manages what being clearly defined now.
Marbled Fennec Networks:
- Provides the two name servers
- Maintains the IP allocations and leases them directly to FurrIX
- Maintains the game servers, email and support systems
- Provides support for their single user tunnels, managed by FurrIX
- Maintains the web host
- No longer touches or operates the routing or network VMs
- Maintains and provides physical infrastructure for both projects
- Provides financial backing for FurrIX until Jan 20th, 2028
FurrIX, a Furry Virtual Internet Exchange:
- Directly leases the /44 and /48 IPv6 allocations without cost from Marbled Fennec Networks
- Maintains, designs and operates the network that forms the virtual internet exchange
- Provides and configures networking service(s) for Marbled Fennec Networks without cost
- Maintains the two name servers
- Maintains and Provides IP transit and tunneling services
- Focuses solely on being a network service provider
Transitional Items of Interest:
- Ty Dwagon becomes the owner and operator of Marbled Fennec Networks
- Adrian/Skylar becomes the owner and operator of FurrIX
- The two projects provide one another with services that the other needs to function
without cost and expectation
This agreement is in place to the benefit of both projects and the spinoff of FurrIX was done to
allow the virtual internet exchange to govern itself and expand at its own pace without approval
or interference from Marbled Fennec Networks, as long as network services are provided to
MFN on an as needed and requested basis.
