DDOS attacks

[Jack]

We must materially gain power by getting rich and gain important positions of power in governments and other private boards.

This is the case and the anti-DDOS is like pinging attack mode. This is because of the latest ritual.

The Anti-DDOS seems to be working really well. Good to see we have strong measures making it very hard for them to take down our websites.

Weren't some of the sites behind Cloudflare? That's supposed to stop them from going offline, but I think they disable them (temporarily?) if they have too many requests.

The website didn't go down, just said that the server was overloaded with requests and thus the connection timed out. Happens when an absurd amount of requests are send to the server, which is what DDOS attacks do. They overload the server capacity and make the website unreachable because it cannot process/accept anymore requests to view the page.

Pretty much the moment the DDOS stops the servers will be back online, no permanent data is lost, aside from any date that the server tried to process during the attack, which is usually minimal. Without any good measures in place though a website can easily be taken down totally for as long as the duration of the attack, therefore it is good to see this is having minimal impact on our websites.

Everything is safeguarded but this doesn't mean the site does not get DDOS'd regardless, because it does. This can cause problems, but as said, nothing lasting and/or enough to get the site offline.

The site could be put in "war mode" with the DDOS, but this would require Captcha or some puzzle or automatically block DDOS Ip's, and this may keep people with Tor nodes and other IP's out, so this undesirable.

This resource error is fake as there is unlimited bandwith. The DDOS is causing this, but nothing permanent.
