Cloudflare used to be the go to service for security through obscurity, hiding your host behind theirs. The DDoS protection offered was also pretty decent even for their free plan, with the paid ones being really good. Nowadays they seem to be aiming for a more complete package providing you many more tools and utilies than ever before, even an A+ rated SSL certificate for free. Not everything they ever did was great however. They did some shady stuff in the past, namely with the announcement of the "Strict" SSL option which was nothing but a cover up of a "mistake". All and all I suggest you give them a try.

This is what i use. <?php $config = array( $gameport = XXX, $ip = "X.X.X.X"); echo $sock = @fsockopen($ip, $gameport) ? "Server Status:&nbsp;<font color="#39f000"><b><img src='online.png' style='height:30px; width:30px;'/>Online</b></font>" : "Server Status: <font color="#ff0000"><b>Offline</b></font>"; @fclose($sock); ?>

Old post but regardless, if you just use cloudflare and no other protection at all you're nothing more than a sitting duck, CF is protection trough obscurity and that's one of the weakest forms of protection. I do use CF and alot of people do aswell and it's great, no question on that, it speeds up your website, acts as a reverse proxy and even has a BIC if you enable it but that's just it. If you want protection you need a good hosting company that has protection agaisnt DDoS ( OVH is great ) and you need to learn some basic defense mechanics so you don't wait on your host to just do everything.

I've tried alot of stuff but they really don't work. Most programs won't get past 301.

Hmm. indeed.

Hey guys, im looking to emulate/copy CF's Browser Integrity Check but i want to customize it aswell. In other words i want the same code that they use ( or at least a close one ) to check your browser so then i can add my CSS to it. I know that it basically checks your browser for common HTTP headers abused most commonly by spammers and denies access to the website. I have got this script which should work (?) <?php function challenge() { $key = 'dkfjneki4o3f3f'; //Change this to some random characters session_start(); if (!isset($_SESSION['_authorized'])) { if (isset($_POST['_authorized'])) { if (sha1(substr(time(), 0, 9) . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . $key) != $_POST['_authorized']) { die('Access denied'); } else { $_SESSION['_authorized'] = ''; } } else { echo ' <form method="post"> <button type="submit" name="_authorized" style="display: none" id="_authorized" value="' . sha1(substr(time(), 0, 9) . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . $key) . '"/> </form> <script> document.getElementById("_authorized").click(); </script> '; die; } } } challenge(); Can someone tell me if it's any good and how I would go about and implement this so it gets triggered when someone visits my website? Thanks in advance! -Fox

7 almost there.

Heyyy (1)

Maybe IPB responsive-like hooks.

You need a custom hook made for this.

Welcome to Webflake. Enjoy your stay.

Yeah man , this hook is quite an hassle.

No problem , glad to help.

In the ACP go to Community Settings or Board Settings , something like that , basically the page where u set the community name etc , change the photo directory there.

Ah.. very very good , this will help me out tons , alot of older skins don't have these types of profile headers.

Check out CNServers resellers , they offer clean 20 Gbps protection but the truth is they can take much more , then you can setup Cloudflare and Dome9. Your only weakness will be Layer 7 which is only handled by CF protection and it's not that great. Edit; OVH is lame , they claim to offer up to 480Gbps protection TN , but a decent layer 7 attack will send it down in a hearbeat , i really recommend CNServers.

IP.Board is pretty safe , but this is all relative , as the hosting company and site owner play a major role in security of the site.
