I know some of you work at Fidelity...

[Frankenstein]

...and for this I'm sorry but I'm now blocking their network from accessing this server. Several times this week we've seen connection floods from Fidelity's network that have crashed the server. If you'd like to be able to access NESR from the Fidelity network, please ask your IT folks to make this stop.

IPs doing the flooding so far:
192.223.136.5 - wcrtdfw01.fidelity.com
192.223.136.6 - wcrtdfw02.fidelity.com
192.223.243.6 - na6mk2fw02.fidelity.com

The whole 192.223.128.0/17 network is currently blocked at our firewall.

Not really related but is Fidelity one of the financial institutions that has been under DOS attacks - supposedly orchestrated by Iran?

Is anyone else having problems with Microsoft Activation Servers?

Could be related. Tinfoil hat theory : Be able to spam people from Fidelity IPs so they all end up on spam/watch/blocklists, auto-generated spamblock rules etc, with the goal of disrupting their business. Little far fetched though.
