CloudFlare Meteor DDOS Protection?

help
1

Hi guys, usually for projects I’d use CloudFlare to protect my origin IP address from DDOS attacks.

So that leaves them to hit my domain, but since DNS goes to CloudFlare they eat the attack for me. Neato!

However, socket support over there just doesn’t work. They say it does, but it just doesn’t.

So, what service do you recommend that can handle this security measure?

For example, Meteor.com goes straight to CloudFront, here’s the IP data I think. Hrmmm. Perhaps CloudFront is the way to go…

Name: meteor.com
Address: 54.192.44.106
Name: meteor.com
Address: 54.192.44.114
Name: meteor.com
Address: 54.192.44.146
Name: meteor.com
Address: 54.192.44.196
Name: meteor.com
Address: 54.192.44.202
Name: meteor.com
Address: 54.192.44.4
Name: meteor.com

CloudFlare does support websockets: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169466-Can-I-use-Cloudflare-with-WebSockets-

Yeah that’s what they say, but when I link the DNS together, my site fails. :confused:

Tried it a while ago, it failed too.

I’m actually running on www.StarCommanderOnline.com over HTTPS CloudFlare.

So it looks like it was something to do with Apache most likely.

I’m now switched completely over to dedicated NodeJS hosting at Google Cloud Compute. Stop by the site and check it out.
