More details are needed, it looks like a good story.
Still half the price of the smallest Digital Ocean droplet. But Do just sent me a $100 voucher...

Thank you for this investigation! I've learned how to use dig! I've just remove the wrong AAAA record, as there is no IPv6 for Github Pages.

No it's ok! Thank you ;-)

Nope, OVH is just for our domain name. Also is talking about my blog, not https://www.villa-bali.com website, which is on AWS.

Haha, true! But please share your personal DDoS experience is mine is not large enough :p

Yep, true, it's planned. But sometimes their captcha page tend to block some legitimate trafic...

It's not that impressive because we read everyday articles about crazy DDoS big companies are able to mitigate. But when it's the website your responsible for, whatever the number of requests/sec, you just need to find way to manage it, and CloudFlare can have some weird side effects.

Re:My first DDoS attack for a $200 ransom on Thursday May 05, 2016 @11:49PM (#11641561)
But can you do pregenerated sites all the time? Like in my case I have a search page, and some dynamic things, I should generate a huge amount of pages (but while writing this I'm thinking that it could be feasible though a bit complicated to regenerate in numerous situations)
Re:My first DDoS attack for a $200 ransom on Thursday May 05, 2016 @11:46PM (#11641549)
Exactly our situation :)
Re:My first DDoS attack for a $200 ransom on Thursday May 05, 2016 @11:45PM (#11641546)
I think you're absolutely right for iptables, as I didn't changed anything to use the X-Forwarded-For IP, so this part might have been fully useless. About the EC2, it's because it's managing the SSL for us, and we used to have two servers behind it.

Everything could have been planed way better (cached, written with a fancy language...), we could have had 10 mil requests/µsec... the main idea was just to get tell how we tried to manage the situation, with the website and skill we have.

I also think my testimony is nearer to what most of web dev can be confronted to, in contrary to one Cloudflare/Gihub BS press release written by 10 experts to increase valuation :p

Re:My first DDoS attack for a $200 ransom on Thursday May 05, 2016 @01:00PM (#11637812)
And there are 73 persons on it right now if I believe Google Analytics
Re:My first DDoS attack for a $200 ransom on Thursday May 05, 2016 @12:58PM (#11637790)
It's working well for me. And as it's a GitHub website, it should be ok...

Re:So, leboncoin.fr doesn't like my email alert webapp on Tuesday May 13, 2014 @07:13AM (#7737519)
I would love to work on an alternative too. It will be hard to attract people, but with strong features, would be possible. (But Craiglist is still #1 in the US, even if it's uglier than leboncoin...)
Re:Your best passive income? (2014) on Tuesday January 21, 2014 @06:34AM (#7094625)
I'll try to start an ecommerce for France, following the other ones who specialize themselves in just one kind of well made product, like socks (www.archiduchesse.com), or underpants (www.leslipfrancais.fr). Coming soon ;)
