My understanding of cloud flare is that they null route you if any major attack comes in- Seems a little bit unfair they didnt do this for lulzsec just to get the press. If you are some boring website that gets the same attack lulzsec does, they will just disconnect/nullroute you.
Correct me if any of this inaccurate, but last I checked it was not.
- andrewthornton 15y agoThis is very true as I saw it first hand around the very same time.
- damoncloudflare 15y agoHi, We only force a site direct if the attack is too large & starts to impact other customers as well. If the attack doesn't impact other customers, then we won't force the site direct (we generally only force a few sites direct per week & these are monster attacks).
- mr-ron 15y agoHow was it that the Lulzsec attacks were not as large? What qualifies a sufficient size attack?
- damoncloudflare 15y agoAlso: Clarifying that forcing direct does not mean a null route. Forcing direct = going direct to the site's server (we still resolve the DNS).
- girlvinyl 15y agoYes. This happened to our site as well. Cloudflare buckled and sent a "sorry, can't handle it" email.
