 How we defeated yesterday's DDOS attack on freedom servers, and how you can help protect yourself if you get a DDOS on your website or servers. It started with just one IP bombarding our servers and we blocked that IP fairly easily. But then the hacker got creative and he started activating a lot of IPs to hit our server. We blocked all those and we thought, good, problem solved. And then he started changing the packets that were sent. There were no longer predictable, we could not filter the good traffic from the bad traffic. So we tried a lot of more advanced techniques to block these, but every time we found something that worked, the hacker did something else to counter our measures. And so what worked in the end was we enabled a $200 a month advanced DDOS service that's available for you or anyone who wishes to use it and it stopped the hacker cold. All of the traffic that was being generated from the denial of service attack was blocked by this service. And what is that service? Well, look behind me. It is Cloudflare. Cloudflare has a free model, but that does not include DDOS protection. They have a pro model and then they have a business model. So we bought the business model and that allowed us to enable the advanced DDOS protection that Cloudflare offers and it did it. We saw the traffic go down to normal levels almost instantly. So tell me in the comments below if you noticed any changes on the freedom servers such as our dashboard. Do you now see once in a while a Cloudflare message asking you to prove you are human in case they may suspect you are a hacker. Now this is an automated system. There's no humans involved. So if you get a message saying, please prove you're human, it's not because you are suspected of being a hacker. It's because their automated system is just double checking. They do spot checks as well. For once in a while you'll get a message even if your traffic is normal. So tell me in the comments below if you were asked to prove your humanity in the last 24 hours using the freedom website or our dashboard. And tell me in the comments below if you have any experience with Cloudflare. Have you used Cloudflare to help you defeat a DDOS attack? Have you used it for any other reason? So we can all benefit from each other's experience and grow together as a family. Tell us your experience and that'll help everybody grow together. This is freedom. And who am I?

Do you use YouTube cards in your videos? It's a pretty cool feature. I prefer it over the traditional annotations because you can actually see all of the links in one place. Normally, when you say click here to get heartbeat chrome, you only see that one link. And if you want to see others, you have to fast forward through the video. But now when you look at the cards, you can see all the videos that you link to in one place. I think it's pretty cool. What do you think? Tell me. You know the drill.
