but all how are all these services able to let in valid traffic? won't they simply cut me off altogether to protect my infrastructure at the cost of no access for my users?
- pjc50 3y agoThe entire business model is in not cutting you off, but cutting off the requests. E.g. by forwarding them to the cloudflare captcha first. This does mean occasional false positives.
- kijin 3y agoUnfortunately, the captcha is a deal breaker for anyone who is running APIs instead of regular, boring, human-accessible websites. We can barely tell humans and robots apart, and have no idea how to tell good robots from bad robots.
- ElectricalUnion 3y agoThe idea is that a IP under heavy DDOS already has effectively 0% availability anyways. More that 0% is a infinite availability increase.
