How to get a captcha to trigger when traffic exceeds eg 10Mbit/s
Have had a couple of DDoSes recently. Activating the Under Attack Mode was helpful and allowed the site to keep running, but we received complaints from less technical users about the captcha.
Question: How would I get the captcha to activate if traffic rises above a threshold. I've been looking at regular WAF rules, and Traffic Limit rules, and I can't figure out the correct incantation.
Question2: And if I manage to do that, is there a way to de-activate it when traffic drops again?
That would mean we stop the attack, and keep users (as) happy (as possible).
