    How does Cloudflare protects from Layer 3 and 4? I never understood that. A layer 4 attack is an attack directly to the server IP in order to full the network bandwith causing a denial of service. If we attack the server IP, Cloudflare is completely bypassed.

    believe they're referring to DDOS mitigation at Cloudflare Edge servers
    so technically they're protecting themselves (Cloudflare) and not charging Cloudflare customers for it heh

    Not sure what you ask :D

    But here's the complete graph from the time I enable Cloudflare CDN, until the attack stop.

    Have you ever encountered attacks where attacker queries bypass hcaptcha and cloudflare js? and cloudflare itself doesn't do anything with those queries (cloudflare business)

    I haven't encountered it yet.
    That's bad if those firewall can be bypassed.

    1.9 - 2 million request per second average attack :|
    Not sure what is the peak as Cloudflare alerts isn't accurate.

    Attack traffic or legit? That's huge either way! How did Centmin Mod server hold up? :D Still using OVH servers? OVH DDOS protection would of helped? Or layer 7 attacks not much help?

    Looks like a lot of VPS/cloud providers. If there isn't any reason for cloud ASNs requests, you can block them off for some urls/paths.

    Attack 99%, 1% legit traffic.

    1st attack, site hangs up for a minute, second attack site was down for a minute.

    Yes :)

    It surely helps with Layer 3/4 attack, but not with layer 7.

    Managed challenge is enough for now, as I have lots of legit VPN users.
