I'm getting DDOSSED to the hilt. Now using cloudflare and have a new IP for the forums. It appears the IP can be revealed still as it's in the email headers.
How can I mask this or prevent this from happening?
As at the moment I have had to disable all email features including email to friend, contact us forms, notification emails and even human verification for new users.
Can't leave busy forums (x4) like that for long.
Can anybody help? Ever had this before?
All someone has to do is get a dns check or a whois check to reveal the sites ip address. Doing a simple ping via the windows command console also reveals the site's ip. At this point you need to look into ddos protection services or get a stronger server and configure a firewall addon for it.
