"Wasn't Cloudflare supposed to prevent DDOSing?"

there a fine line between DDOS from bots and 30k real users accessing your site at the same time

cloudflare do not provide resource for the latter




isnt the point of a DDOS being unable to differentiate the traffic and therefore not block it? ideally it would look like organic 30k


Yes, I have had to block all of Asia before on forums, at verisign. It was more than 30k IPs.


don't they offer caching?
