The amount of traffic pissed away by bots infuriates me at times.
One of our client sites (which is a small business that isn't that old and well known) was basically getting smoked every night by them. We ended up just blocking India period and that caught 80% of it. The bots were targeting a particular Wordpress plugin that was difficult to cache due to it being search-result based. I worked out that the bot formatted its url parameters in a slightly unusual order so put a security challenge on that pattern and that caught a lot of the remaining shit.
Cloudflare periodically sends me amusing emails about how alarmingly high a percentage of traffic is being blocked.

I keep getting Cloudflare screens if I'm a bot every time I try to access the site.

I suspect the bot farms are masses of cheap android phones, so mobile traffic being more suspect to Cloudflare makes sense.

I found a fix for that
Just put your phone on airplane mode for a few seconds then switch back to wifi. Reloading it again should take you to the site

Fair enough, at least the site is still up and people don't have to wait for the DDoS attack to end.

Are ddos attacks illegal? I don't know much about them other than the most general information.

Yeah, they are. In the US, specifically, they can be prosecuted under the definition of: Knowingly causing the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization to a protected computer.
"Damage" can be defined as "Any impairment to the integrity or availability of data, a program, a system, or information."

I'm not getting the check anymore but it takes 7-8 times to log in.

Not sure if related:
Mods feel free to lock this thread if the issue has been brought up or if is somehow self inflicted but as of about a week now I keep getting this image when on WiFi, or data, on my iPhone.
Not sure how to fix? It randomly will load the site sometimes other times not. I haven't done anything differently with my phone or connections, and it only happens on this site.
Anyone else getting this?
