Hello. I had a discourse forum which got ddos’d to hell last month (it’s basically a community about news, and what got me ddos’d was the posting of news about ecuadorean protests a month ago. Real eyeopener too). Anyway, this is basically a “hobby” of mine and I don’t really have the money to pay …

Configure UFW and if necessary put it behind Cloudflare with a page rule to “disable performance” so that it doesn’t screw around with the code.

Thank you. Can you elaborate on both ideas? 1)What would be a good configuration for ufw with discourse? should i allow port 80 as well or only 224? 2)What would that page rule look like?

This is the one good use case for Cloudflare. But you have to be unbelievably careful that you don’t leak the IP address because if you do it is game over.

That means using cloudflare for “everything” in the forum, so to speak?. I have cloudlfare in almost standard configuration and works fine. However some posts here recommend “enable this, disable that”, shich makes me fear exactly that: leaking ip. I disabled “rocket” something and “minification”…

There are a few more recent topics that cover this. [圖片] How to protect a server's IP from being exposed? Self-hosting My forum has CloudFlare and when inserting a URL from this service, I can get the real IP of my server, this is a big gift for DDoS attacks. …

Without going through a service like Cloudflare, I presume Discourse out of the box doesn’t leak IP in any way?
