Are you sure it's your server IP? It can be a layer-7 attack, which makes the website unable to load. Look into Cloudflare (or whatever you use) first and see if there's any attacks shown.

Best way is to temporarily disable your webserver / IIS for now. Then only allow Cloudflare IPs on your VPS firewall. You can follow tutorial provided by @Johno on here :

However if you're using Linux VPS, you'll need to manually allow Cloudflare IPs access via iptables rules. I'm not sure if there's a script to automate these

I have this for linux when using iptables

run this to download and execute the script

wget
chmod +x CloudFlare-HTTP.sh
./CloudFlare-HTTP.sh

This may help to rerun my website back to online?

Cloudflare isn’t really good anymore or have been for the past years. The Layer 7 protection that they provide for free users is incredibly easy to bypass for ”hackers” and the DDoS mitigation is very poor.

If you’re having trouble with Layer 7 attacks I would suggest that you use Nginx rate limitting, I have had way better success with that than Cloudflare.

Get a game dedi and setup the firewall

Also this is partly true. A dedicated game server usually has a good configured physical firewall that will blacklist and notice the most common Layer 4 attacks from Habbo people.

They’re super expensive that’s the issue. I used to use JavaPipe and they were amazing, again quite expensive though!
