Site appears under DDoS, slow or unreachable

A DDoS shield absorbs traffic in front of your server. Cloudflare's free tier already does basic mitigation.

Try this first

  1. 1Put the site behind Cloudflare via NS change or orange-cloud
  2. 2Toggle 'Under Attack Mode' during the active attack
  3. 3Hide origin IP, allow only Cloudflare IP ranges in firewall
  4. 4Keep logs for post-mortem

When to bring us in

On targeted L7 attacks, upgrade to Cloudflare Pro or Magic Transit.
