That's a great move by Hetzner. Glad to see that OVH is not the only main player doing it anymore.

The only issue with both is that they don't handle l7 DDoS, which seems to be getting more common. I also don't like that they leverage TCP rst's for syn floods, but I guess thats better than going down.

But so far, for l7 attacks you still need ddos mitigation strategies or something like CloudFlare.com or https://sucuri.net in front of your site.

It seems you’re affiliated with Sucuri, I wonder why you don’t include that in your profile?

Just giving credit to the little ones who work hard. I'm affiliated with them as a happy customer, but online.net and ovh are also good.

Because I am not. Just like their service and use it along with CloudFlare (which I always recommend).

It’s just surprising when more than two thirds of all the comments you ever made were somehow telling people to use it.

That just creates a wrong impression.

I can see that. I just tend to engage on threads about ddos/security where I share what I do and tools I use.
