DDos

[JoyFreak]

Getting DDos’d. Site been down for a few hours now. Not sure what to do, how to prevent it. Any ideas

Your host should be able to help you, also possibly an IP change and CloudFlare.

I am with cloudflare too but not sure why this has happened

They quite possibly have your real IP, best place to start is with your host. It is possible the IP is being leaked through one or more of the following:

• Email Headers
• Image and Link Proxy
• Disable all remote file upload like avatars and media gallery

So a IP change may be necessary. Also go with CloudFlare pro plan, their support should be able to help you configure the settings properly.

Contacted host, waiting for their response. Thanks
