Shouldnt they be using some sort of ddos protection?

jgrahamc • Jul 19, 2013 • View on HN

Sign up for a service that protects against DDoS such as CloudFlare.

Only for mini DDoS attacks - for larger ones they disable routing for your ip address. I guess they don‘t have the capacity to handle the big DDoS attacks nowadays.

Does this mitigate any aspect of DDOS?

higherpurpose • Apr 13, 2015 • View on HN

Does this mean it will be even harder to DDoS sites protected by Cloudflare now?

revskill • Jun 10, 2023 • View on HN

What if the situation is the provider doesn't have built-in DDos protection ?

mattmanser • Apr 25, 2012 • View on HN

I don't know about the scale of the DDoS attacks but have you tried cloudflare?

jorblumesea • Feb 18, 2020 • View on HN

Yeah, because no one can DDOS your CDN or hosting box /s

DDOS doesnt just hit the endpoint, it hits networks that have little to do with it.
