Hi my website is on a shared server. The server firewall rules are set to block IPs that exceed 300 concurrent connections. As 99% of the traffic on the site uses the forum I suspect the forum.
We are using WP 3.5 and SP Version 5.0.5 which I know is out of date. I have so little time I have not upgraded.
So the question is how can I prove where these concurrent connections are coming from and how can I put a stop to it?
I would be grateful for any help at all.
it should be pretty easy to see where the connections are coming from using your server control panel… I am not sure how you would be getting 300 from the forum… I nominally see only a couple at most…
so you can upgrade wp, but not sp, eh? 
Aw c’mon Steve. My working life has become bedlam, with everyone and their uncles wanting a piece of me. I willl upgrade during the holidays. Be nice!
