When in a tactical emergency do not say "and why is this shit raining down upon us?" That is a separate step. First you either take cover or help.

- demonshalo 10y agoProblem most often is that after you take cover, you forget to ask that question.
- mememachine 10y agoThats not true though
- floatboth 10y agoHowever, I haven't seen people enable ButtFlare's proxy only when under DDoS. Most of their users enable the proxying just for the CDN performance or just in case or… you get the idea.
- markonen 10y agoOnce your origin is under a DDoS attack, how would Cloudflare's proxy help?
- floatboth 10y agoYeah, it wouldn't help if the attackers don't resolve the DNS hostname on ~every request :D But then, there are ways to find the origin anyway (when buttflare is enabled), someone in this thread posted the real IP address of Hacker News…
- kijin 10y agoButtflare exposes the origin IP only if you previously exposed it (e.g. by continuing to use the same IP after signing up for Cloudflare), temporarily exposed it (e.g. by turning off the "cloud" button for a few minutes), or have a bug in your code that exposes it (e.g. by sending emails or requesting external resources from your origin IP). If you pay $200 or more and never do any of these silly things, your origin IP should be safe.
- forgottenpass 10y agoYou stand up the service somewhere else, and point the cloudflare proxy at that. Everyone in the "cloud" is able to do the migration even without having prepared a disaster recovery plan ahead of time.
- M_Grey 10y agoInteresting, so to make people stop thinking strategically and run the way I want, just throw shit at you? Do you see a problem with that?
