Every time I try to access this community, ther’s some kind of problem with the server. If you have a look at the status page, it’s almost all orange/red. The problem aren’t DDoS attack since the server is behind Cloudflare protection. Admin/mods, why don’t you move this community to a different server instance? I’m not accusing anybody, I know that maintain a server can be a challenging sometimes, I just want to enjoy this community!

Please!

    They explained that the attacks are in the form of requests that tax the database server, not the website itself.

      The database can’t be accessed directly, all the requests needs to be done from the website or API.

        Right, but it’s possible to execute those API requests to trigger those expensive database requests in a way that wouldn’t necessarily trigger cloudflare’s DDoS protection.
