A Cloudflare spokesperson told Ars that the cloud services provider saw “a spike in unusual traffic to one of Cloudflare’s services,” which “caused some traffic passing through Cloudflare’s network to experience errors.”
“We do not yet know the cause of the spike in unusual traffic,” the spokesperson said. “We are all hands on deck to make sure all traffic is served without errors. After that, we will turn our attention to investigating the cause of the unusual spike in traffic.”
Anubis is to protect against scraping from LLMs, it has nothing to do with DDoS protection. Not only that, but the Anubis Github repo recommends most people to use Cloudflare instead, since Anubis is the “nuclear” option.
Well then we are all fked. I recommend then using a good internet connection to host your stuff behind it. I also recommend a good firewall.
A firewall that can block on geo location. Block on ASN level. And intrusion detection. And also use block lists like FireHOL level 1 to 4.
Of course configure fail2ban etc.
Again we really need to come up with alternatives now… I’m sick of how the current internet develops.
