As someone else who used to host via an open port, you get random connections all the time. Almost constantly and the request paths make it obvious they are scanning for vulnerabilities. Via cloud flare the number of those requests is much lower, as they have to know at least the DNS to do so, (and can’t guess it from a presented SSL cert.)
It’s the reason I set up cloudflare in the first place, so yeah. I was getting SYN flood-ed to the point that my router would just crash almost immediately, and after rebooting it the attack would resume after a minute or two.
@[email protected]@[email protected] Hm weird, I don’t see why they would spend their resources attacking random people without any kind of demand. Even at work I’ve never seen one happening.
I still believe Cloudflare has most of its customers because of fearmongering tbh.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Is that an actual issue or a hypothetical one? I’ve never had an attack in 10 years of publicly hosting stuff.
