@arunoda, I encountered something weird twice or so with my app. So I tried out Sikka, and while developing locally, Sikka managed to get triggered. Now I’m using about 2-3 windows open (using different accounts to test out) with my Meteor app. Here’s the message Meteor threw:
Sikka: IP Blocked. 10.0.2.2
Sikka: Closing current connection [ID here]
Does this mean that if one opens more windows than necessary, but is only using one login account, there’ll be a chance I’ll get flagged? Or this only happens if I use multiple (different) accounts with the app and have them all logged in on a single machine?
We filter based on the IP. Once you verified the connection, it stores a
cookie. And it used to verify.
In the next version, regardless of directly blocking we will have
throttling functionality as well. Which prevent sudden loads when deploying
a new version and cases like this.
Stay tuned for the next version for these kind of features and monitoring.

Ah nice! As for the throttling functionality, are you working on something similar to server side throttling as well, like zeroasterisk’s meteor-throttle?
It’s on server side. But build into the DDP level with the input from Sikka.
You won’t be able to control it from the code.
Our future plan is to build a standalone firewall for Meteor. That’s why we don’t allow to control sikka from code.
