As a Slashdot comment points out, CloudFlare could protect the owner from DDoS attacks with minimal effort on his part.
Edit: The original original post already talks about CloudFlare. The reference was lost in an Internet game of telephone.
- garaetjjte 10y agoFor 200$/month.
- lathiat 10y agothey run an NNTP server, not just a website. So cloudflare would not help with that.
- skrause 10y agoThe DDOS targeted only the web server. The NNTP server (news.gmane.org) is on a different server and actually still running just fine right now.
- tedmiston 10y agoI have no idea what their traffic requirements are, but CloudFlare has a generous free plan.
- anc84 10y agoPlease no, I like being able to read gmane privately without having to solve obnoxious captchas every time.
- pythia__ 10y agoYou can have it both ways: use CloudFlare and offer direct access through a hidden service (since DDoS attacks over Tor are impossible, expect for application layer attacks).
- ryanlol 10y agoWhat purpose does the cloudflare captcha serve in that scenario? And lots of people who aren't Tor users also have to suffer through the captchas every time they visit a CF site.
