They (Cloudflare) could have given a few more RL rules for the birthday, but ok and 1 is more useful than none

I made one to protect the origin a little more from unnecessary REQs (for those who like to press refresh)

You will have to block a bunch of hosting (ASN) on CF as well as TOR, VPNs, ETC.
Protect critical addresses with page rules such as “I’m under attack” on the appropriate pattern
and do a bunch of what’s listed here

CF had to react if you did everything right
or you have a security flaw somewhere
or you have a designed website in such a way that everything is no cache must revalidate blah blah.

you can put this in .htaccess on this hosting
so that only the CF IPs has access to the origin (if someone wants to bypass it)

#(Oxy Dac) Only Localhost and Cloudflare

Yeah, its better then nothing. I use it to protect the entire site,
for pages, I just set “I’m under attack” mode like you mentioned

been whacked with another small scale ddos during my abuse suspention

8811

Me, for example, at xy-login
if no data is entered in 3 seconds (browser autocomplete)
I put a redirect to my YT video :smile:

So if a bot (or someone undesirable) comes > at least some benefit !

so you can turn the drama into something positive

new host + rate limiting

8815

I’m not sure myself, but I blame the admin in any case. :joy:
Interesting, the moderation recruitment process. Unlike any host I’ve seen.

Thank you so much, it’s good to be back!

Well they must have changed it for me then, I only had to endue about an hour with a lie detector

Glad I was not one of the first mods :grin:

You set a new record :joy:

Maybe the admin wasn’t on vacation at all (recently)
Who knows what he was doing and what kind of SpecOps

I’m sure it’s easy to surpass it, but it’s nice to know I hold the record.
Where’s that?

Oxy here - it is shown above the post when someone is not active for a long time
or if it is a new user but then the message is different.

Chris here - you could just make a new post :joy:

Oxy - we try not to make this a chat, and the limit is 10k, after the topic is closed, and we are relatively close to that number

Perhaps hunting for his next victim moderator?

Maybe. But do we really need another moderator?

That’s the million-dollar question the admin needs to discuss with himself.
How would I know? I was away for two years!

Oh, didn’t know that, sorry. A fitting limit if you consider it; this topic celebrates 10k users, and will close at 10k posts.
