We are being DDOSed again, and cloudflare is catching most of it so the site is still usable. We are tweaking the settings of our DDOS protection to make it load faster

A friend who was not even dos

This was a meme with requests sent from one server to an individual URL that could be easily cached.

The pages dropped because the requests were stopped by us. The attack can be run indefinitely without any problem, and many servers. We stopped requests because you now understand the problem.

If you're hosting "controversial" content, you should be better prepared. This was not a serious attack, only one server with one CPU and a 100Mbps line to send a request via cloudflare.

Am i getting this right youre claiming you caused this? All that effort to take the site down again since last time and just so you could post a smug message like this and say it's their fault for hosting IP2? You're mentally ill and everyone realises it but you

I think you misunderstood. He's testing the sites ability to handle ddos attacks. When he finds an issue, he reports it. He then suggests that if we're going to host controversial content, then the site should be better prepared against ddos attacks. If he was really trying to ddos, he would have fucked up the site a hell of a lot more than what he actually did.
