If you put your own website behind Cloudflare while it's under attack from Cloudflare... does the internet explode? OP you should try it and see what happens.

If you put your own website behind Cloudflare while it's under attack from Cloudflare... does the internet explode?
OP you should try it and see what happens. It's only like $20 for the basic plan, and then you can ask their support once you log all the attacks coming from themselves to themselves...
- foothebar 3y ago$20 to stop a big tech company allowing attacking you from their network they are responsible for?

- traveler1 3y agoThe free plan would cover this sort of attack.
- rollcat 3y agoThe problem is you are asked to move your DNS SOA/NS to CloudFlare, they won't let you just slap a CNAME/A+AAAA, and that could be disruptive to your setup - there's no single standard for managing DNS programmatically, many DNS vendors provide extensions (such as GeoDNS, AWS "ALIAS" records, fallback) etc. I've done my share of nasty DNS hacks to make a customer happy; even without hacks you do want some order in your setup so you'll end up with a huge piece of Terraform or a glued-together Python script. Changing DNS providers can be extremely painful.
