100TB of "Access Denied" replies per month, how many requests served is this?

This is hilarious in an unbelievably terrible and tragic way. The scale is mind boggling.

I wonder which browser it is.

Author here. Actually, it's getting better, I've just looked up the stats and for the last 30 days we only served 70TB of access denied pages, this is about 33-34B requests.

That's 2 trillion requests a month, or 780,000 requests/second. That would be just a little shy of 1% of all of akamai's rps traffic. mind-boggling

Oh no, that were numbers for a month, not a day
