Summary

CloudFlare provides protection from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks by acting as a filter to block bad traffic and only send legitimate traffic through to the origin server. However, it is crucial to keep the origin IP secure to protect against attackers who want to bypass CloudFlare's DDoS protection. Tips include keeping all subdomains on CloudFlare, reviewing DNS records, not hosting mail or other services on the same server as the web server, and changing the origin IP once configured for maximum DDoS protection. Following these steps will help keep your origin IP address private and help prevent DDoS attacks against your site.
