Most CDNs would be able to filter such traffic, especially if it comes from a single VM. On the other side, most cloud providers are also quite serious about these things and will cut you off once they notice you're using a VM to DDoS other systems, so you won't be able to do that for very long.
- nikolqy 4y agoBelieve it or not, I found out that using Cloudflare Warp allows you to get significantly higher rps rates for cloudflare sites and others. It's a pretty terrible flaw.
- yellow_lead 4y agoI dunno, it's fairly easy to buy VMs with cryptocurrency now. And who's to say they aren't legitimate requests? Especially if it's HTTP, it may not look like a DDOS
- ThePhysicist 4y agoMost cloud providers react very fast to abuse, they do not have an interest in ruining the reputation of their subnets as that will make life difficult for all of their customers. So they won't ask nicely if your 10 million requests per hour to a single machine are really legitimate, they'll just shut down your account to protect their network.

- Komodai 4y agoSome don't, especially not the ones mentioned in the original post :) Vultr, Linode and Digital Ocean are all absolutely terrible at dealing with abuse.
