Why didn't it work?

I'm not trying to be a smart rear end, I'm genuinely curious.

I've seen it happen on one other website one time, and it worked, the attack lasted for like 3 days and that CloudFlare redirect would come up, and after like 5 seconds it redirected and the site came up.

Why didn't it work for Lowtax? :gerty:

Curious.

Also I'm assuming the attack was probably from that Dare crazy dude or whoever/whatever the gently caress he is?

phone posting so I can't look it up, but cloudflare is a reverse proxy meaning they relay requests to a specific site for that site.

but it's all DNS based, and it isn't hard to get the SA server IPs, so it's easy to bypass CloudFlare

the DNS thing means most people look up forums.somethjngawful.com and then their browser gets told to go to 1.2.3.4 for it, only 1.2.3.4 is a whole bunch of servers in various places that just relay requests between the browser and SA, when SA is really at 4.5.6.7.

so if you attack 4.5.6.7 you have just skipped cloidflare


this is just my guess idk what really happened and am on my phone, maybe I'll look tomorrow if SA is still reachable outside of CF

if that's what happens then you can set the real SA servers at 4.5.6.7 to only accept requests from the nice reverse proxies at 1.2.3.4 and this problem doesn't happen, that's why I am not convinced what I said is actually the case, but it is one way to bypass CF

Well, you can't really DDOS a site if the site is offline now can you? Seems like Cloudflare knows what they are doing, imo.

We offer a 100% guarantee against all website attacks and DDoS's. Neither of those things will be able to take down your site with us backing you. Our first plan of defense against any and all site "hacks" is to take down your website for an indefinite amount of time. Our second prong against these criminals is to not only leave your site offline so you are no longer under attack, but to also redirect users to a webpage that we have created that makes them think we are investigating them for the crime as well. As long as you stick with us, you are protected. Shalom, and praise Isreal. Also, video games are not art.
