The server communication itself? Spectrum or Magic Transit. Spectrum is really expensive, and outside of Enterprise would only supported Minecraft (and at $1/gb), and Magic Transit is fully Enterprise whole network protection

It can sometimes break websites if they depend on a certain ordering and is more build for the "old web" where you had tons of scripts from random stuff which all tried to be loading at the start

Chaika•3/4/24, 5:51 PM

If you're using a modern framework or your own JS I'd just disable it

Chaika•3/4/24, 5:52 PM

that would be unrelated to rocket loader not working

Chaika•3/4/24, 5:53 PM

is it even being applied if you switch it like that? Depending on your setup, you may just be disabling it inadvertently by changing that

Chaika•3/4/24, 5:57 PM

Sure, the recommendation eitherway though is probably going to be disable it. It causes problems and is build for the old web/you probably won't benefit from it, not even CF recommends it any more in their new speed stuff

i am not familiar on how the CF protection outside website works

i have a game server, TCP based and is currently hosted in OVH.
(attached screenshot is the attacks in past 6 hours)

i added OVH firewall recommendations but still disrupts my players connections

will this be mitigated by CF?

Cloudflare cannot mitigate raw TCP/UDP (which is what game servers use) without the optional Spectrum addon, which as Chaika has said is only for Minecraft and is very very expensive outside of an Enterprise contract.

Is this a Minecraft server?

marchOP•3/4/24, 6:07 PM

it is not

Isaac McFadyen•3/4/24, 6:07 PM

If not then you'd need Enterprise which usually runs multiple thousands of dollars per month.

Isaac McFadyen•3/4/24, 6:08 PM

If you're wanting to get an Enterprise contract I'd recommend reaching out to Sales: https://www.cloudflare.com/enterprise/

do you have ball park on the pricing? like spectrum or enterprise?

Hello, I’m Allie!•3/4/24, 6:12 PM

Enterprise itself is a few thousand a month, iirc

Isaac McFadyen•3/4/24, 6:12 PM

Unfortunately we can't really give pricing details because it's very much specific to a contract. But yes, estimate at least a couple thousand dollars a month.

Hello, I’m Allie!•3/4/24, 6:12 PM

But it depends heavily on what is included in your agreement

marchOP•3/4/24, 6:13 PM

thank you i will wait for their response.
