Really loving CloudFare

Post by Jaymer »

you know I hate these bastard spammer hackers that attack my Tomcat.
Upcloud charges a few bucks a month for a firewall - but its piss poor with its management UX.
Recently checked into CF.
I have a $25/mo paid plan and a freebie. Main diff (that I see) is the # of rules in the Firewall.

ONE OF THE EASIEST things to do is block incoming by Country.
So being the Western Capitalist Pig that I am, I just block everyone not in the US - Easy.
It takes only 1 rule to do this, so even with the FREE plan you can do this and drop tons of traffic hitting your site.
Additionally, for the US scumbags that try to sniff WordPress logins, I have another rule for them.

I love seeing this:
