Was hoping for something more swole dog worthy when reading the headline. Even though I agree with much of the advice, being behind Cloudflare is definetly not nothing. Depending on the distribution of the traffic they might have survived well on VPS's without Cloudflare anyways, doesn't seem that large. Would be interesting to see more detailed stats of rps and how much (if any) Cloudflare stopped before they got it. Russian layer7 ddos'es that I know of targeting Swedish companies have been large enough that major providers run into capacity problems and fall over (including Verizon, Azure Frontdoor, Cloudflare, GCP's Load balancer). This strategy would absolutely not work against those volumes.
