    @robi If you're running this on CR at home, block port 53 at your firewall from public but allow it from internal. If you are on a VPS, you'd probably want something like dyndns.org to auto update stuff I'd think?

    @doodlemania2 it's on a biz VPS and the abuse is severe enough to have used up 200+GB of disk space, which I need to track down now.

    Backups have been failing, and who knows what else.

          @robi it's a serious issue you have (think of IP reputation!) but it was also mentioned before:

          https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3840/adguard-on-upcoming-cloudron-v6-ddos-reflection-amplification

          And it's in the docs:

          https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/adguard-home/#securing-installation

          I think DDNS doesn't work because you have to add an IP in AdGuard, I have the same issue with my home connection, that's why I don't use AdGuard in my personal Cloudron. I run Pi-Hole in my home network on a Raspberry Pi.

            @robi Can you check what is taking so much space? Is this log files?

                @robi Does your VPS provider not let you block port 53? Or do you need it to be accessible externally?

                  @atrilahiji I might be wrong about this but I think port 53 needs to be used to resolve DNS, and since @robi mentioned that he installed it on a business VPS it has to be publicly accessible for it to function. If it were a homelab would this be less of an issue?

                    @thpuffin @atrilahiji it would not be an issue because of NAT at home.

                      @doodlemania2 I decreased the query log retention from 90 days to 7 days as the default. But depending on the use case, it can be disabled altogether in the settings file.

                        Thanks to rclone I uploaded all 222GB to my Google Drive in less then a couple hours. (didn't time it, but expected it to be much longer.)

                        VPS is on a 200mbit line last time I checked, so could be under an hour.
                        If only we had network graph stats.
