Cyberattacks on the portal vint.ee

Hello,

Last weekend, the company was hit by a cyberattack, specifically a Distributed Denial Of Service (DDOS) type attack.
Tried to open the game review page with a random game ID, about 30-40 requests per second and all from different IPs. This made the vint.ee page very slow and sometimes vint.ee wouldn't open at all.

As a temporary solution, we stopped monitoring the game and the attack subsided.

However, last night the attack started again and a more permanent solution had to be found.
We moved the finch to CDN (Content Delivery Network) Cloudflare .
Cloudflare offers a free package that already includes measures against cyberattacks.

Tonight already proved a good decision: overnight, Cloudflare blocked a quarter of a million requests to Vindi's server (half of the total volume), and most importantly - Vindi's server load was completely normal and there was no slowdown.

There have been some minor bugs with the Cloudflare migration, but we are working on them and will have them fixed soon!

If anyone has been experiencing frequent refreshes in the game room, especially in the last few days, please let me know. One player from England claims that he is getting several refreshes per minute.

There has even been a discussion about this problem on the Cloudflare forums , but no solution is described there.

This has happened to me many times. The picture freezes, I think the game hasn't started yet, but it turns out that the game is already halfway through, the computer has made a bid (usually some random suit at the same height). But I haven't noticed it for the last 3 weeks or so.
