Recently under a heavy DDoS attack. Anything I should know about Cloudflare and how it interacts with Xenforo?

Don't enable Rocket Loader.
And is it your xenForo site under attack or is it a word press blog that is also being hosted on your server (shared, VPS, etc)?

It's the dedicated server IP.

Only if Mis-Configured.

I know that I had problems (even correctly configured) when I used it - that's how I found all the little tweaks. Of course, this was their "free" version. All I use them now for is some pointless WP blogs for DNS.

I consume 100GB+ per month.
Btw, What's your problem recently?
The only problem I had with CloudFlare is when their system's down.
Offcourse you'll be affected, I always check it here: https://www.cloudflare.com/system-status

I must have hit them at a bad time then because they were having "down" problems frequently.

Do not forget to route your mail through a third party when you have your new IP. Consider things like not sending e-mail notifications from the new IP until you arrange a third party mail solution.
Cloud flare wont handle your mail so when some one registers they get an e-mail straight from your own IP and you expose yourself for another potential attack on your new IP. I am not sure about incapsula.

I have used Cloudflare extensively over the years and even paid for the full enterprise railgun to see how that went but I only use them for DNS now. They simply couldn't diagnose the faults that occurred only when routed through them, they told me they couldnt log it so I built a workaround myself to find a staggering amount of people having issues connecting to us. DNS has been rock solid, everything else though had issues.
I have had to deal with DDOS in the past (and have used cloudflare on occasion during ddos) so if you want any pointers etc drop me a PM.
