DDoS Attack Mitigation Assistance

Job ID: 39332403

Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR

My website is currently experiencing a DDoS attack, and while I’ve temporarily enabled Cloudflare’s “Under Attack” mode, the CAPTCHA challenge for all users is causing a poor user experience, which is not a long-term solution.

I’m looking for an experienced freelancer who can:

Analyze the traffic pattern to identify the nature of the attack

Implement intelligent mitigation strategies (e.g. IP blocking, rate limiting, challenge rules, geo-blocking, WAF tuning)

Utilize Cloudflare's features (but NOT the full Under Attack mode)

Possibly add custom rules on NGINX or server-level defenses

Suggest and apply best practices for securing the server while allowing legitimate traffic

Ensure minimum downtime and no impact on real users
