antpThese match the peaks in the charts I see in the Cloudflare dashboards.
It seems that there is a peak of visits of these bots every few hours (even if they are there permanently), but I don't know if Cloudflare can see these are a real attack (maybe it will just see that as a peak of visitors), we'll see. In the worse case, I can enable something to force visitors to pass a captcha.
I'll enable the filtering later today.

antpStrange. Now that the bad bots seem more or less filtered, I wonder what caused this. We'll see how it evolves in the next days.
At least it seems to globally work better.

night cubI'm guessing that I don't need to point out the obvious that the site went down about 15 minutes ago. It wouldn't even allow me to start the bot-block, before it timed out.

antpAs the bad bots tend to change randomly their identifier (outside the list I made before), I enabled captcha for everyone except known bots, that should help with the bots not detected as bots. In the last hour it seems there were lots of issues, I suppose too much traffic, I'll analyze the logs later.
For real humans that captcha should not be an issue, just a checkbox once a day added by Cloudflare.

night cubWhen I am trying to upload pictures from a remote address, I am getting errors. More specifically, I am trying to merge pages and when I copy the image address and enter that, it is
Warning: file_get_contents(
https://imcdb.org/i002123302.jpg?u=1786814326): Failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in /var/www/imcdb/upload-utils.php on line 228
I'm can save the pic to my computer and then upload it. That works.

antpIndeed, I have to whitelist the server itself so it is not blocked by cloudflare to get its own pic
edit: it should work now
