    Hello,

    I can't change nameserver so I can't use the free anti ddos from cloudflare in one of the domains I manage.

    I'm getting flooded by hong kong traffic and some other coutries? (I can't block hong kong traffic as some customer is from there).

    Have you some suggestion?
    I found some solutions on github, have you tried some of them?

    example:
    https://github.com/simon987/ngx_http_js_challenge_module
    https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker
    https://github.com/Sanix-Darker/AntiDDOS-system

    Why can't you change namservers?

    Probably would need Cloudflare. If you're using non Cloudflare Enterprise plans, for non-apex domains, you can use Cloudflare for SaaS https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/ to extend Cloudflare service/product coverage for a non-Cloudflare domain i.e. sub.domain.com , without changing nameservers on sub.domain.com. If you have Cloudflare Enterprise plan, you can also extend Cloudflare service/product coverage to apex domains i.e. domain.com not using Cloudflare namservers. See what features each Cloudflare plan supports for Cloudflare for SaaS at https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/plans/.

    I use Cloudflare for SaaS myself to extend my Cloudflare service/product coverage to domains not using Cloudflare or Cloudflare's nameservers :D

    For instance if I have a Cloudflare account with zone domain1.com using Cloudflare namservers. I can use Cloudflare for SaaS to add a custom hostname for sub.domain2.com where it doesn't use Cloudflare nameservers but now sub.domain2.com can use my Cloudflare account's domain1.com zone's CDN/CACHE/WAF (if on paid plans) to cover sub.domain2.com :) For non-Enteprise Cloudflare for SaaS setup https://developers.cloudflare.com/c...ms/cloudflare-for-saas/start/getting-started/

    Unfortunately, apex domain Cloudflare for SaaS proxying i.e. domain2.com is Enterprise plan only https://developers.cloudflare.com/c...r-saas/start/advanced-settings/apex-proxying/
    So for Cloudflare free, pro, business plans you can do non-apex domain i.e. subdomain proxying of non-Cloudflare nameserver domains i.e. sub.domain2.com or www.domain2.com but not non-www domain2.com unless you have Cloudflare Enterprise plan. Cloudflare Enterprise plan apex Cloudflare for SaaS at https://developers.cloudflare.com/c.../start/advanced-settings/apex-proxying/setup/

    Just remember, any DDOS mitigation solution that actually runs on same server, will be limited to how much load the same server can handle as opposed to offloaded solution like Cloudflare where they have their own network of 310+ cities and Edge locations and 228 Terabytes per second capacity https://www.cloudflare.com/network/ :)

    In addition, neither Cloudflare nor any DDOS solution is sacred either. I did experience that even Cloudflare is going to 0 route you after 1 million + devices at the same time, running your site and start messing around. You can set it up as best you can, but complete prevention is never possible.

    That particoular provider is so cheap that don't allow ns change :-(
    I forced my father in law to change provider and now I can change ns to cloudflare's. ;)
