IP banned against RecGov

[Schachte]

Curious if anyone is familiar with IP bans against RecGov? I'm failing out with continuous 403's and can confirm my VM IP is the only thing getting blocked by Cloudfront.

This happened due to docker container being set to restart always, but continuous config param was false, which spams them continuously without a poll interval.

Can confirm the IP ban was temporary

I've had this happen before when doing lots of rapid testing. @Schachte just curious, what rec area / campground were you searching?

[Schachte]

Yosemite. I just did the entire Yosemite rec area 2991.

Btw, just scored a spot in Yosemite Valley I've been really wanting for next week thanks to you!

Oh interesting, I thought that might be the case. I believe Yosemite is actually one of the big culprits for IP bans from RecDotGov (moreso than other campgrounds / rec areas). They seem to have the highest bot traffic so RecDotGov is quick to place a temporary ban on your IP
