Thanks Giz. I installed CloudFlare about 5 or 6 weeks ago. We noticed an immediate and significant improvement in performance.
But lately, the brute-force attacks are still clogging our Error log files - and once or twice a day, NO ONE can log on to our forum. Everyone is completely blocked for 30 - 90 minutes.
The error logs for those times show 80-140 failed attempts (per minute) from a single overseas IP address.
So, I'm trying to stop them BEFORE they get to my domain process. I want to filter them at the firewall. CloudFlare has been good, but it's still got leaks.
Having said that, maybe I need to look at "tightening up" the CloudFlare settings some more. I'll look at that too.
