How do services such as Cloud Fare work in providing protection against DDOS? - DragonicRek - 06-26-2018
I am fascinated with the concepts of DDOS attacks and am intrigued by CloudFlare.

It's beyond the scope of this post to document the Ins and outs of both DDoS & CF's Inner workings.
I do remember (a while back), stumbling across an article that elaborated both quite well. If I recall It's exactness, I'll post the link.

Me personally, I'm not a fan of DDos but, if you do find it @mothered, I would love to look into it

I'm going by memory, so hopefully I can recollect my thoughts.
A lot of users believe DDoS attacks are somewhat mediocre and whilst such attacks do not compromise data per se, depending on the nature of the site, downtime can have a significant negative Impact on the organization's financial state.

They do it through providing the user with a captcha code.

Look up how a reverse proxy works, like using nginx to reverse proxy to your http server. Cloudflare works similarly but they also deliver as much stored content from your site as they can without having to forward the requests to your server.
Read their documentation:
