If you choose to use CloudFlare to front-end your Web site, be sure that you also change the back-end server’s IP address and/or firewall it so that only CloudFlare IPs can access it. Otherwise, if the attacker already knows your IP, they can just keep DDOS’ing it and you won’t really get much benefit.

Here at $WORK one of our sites have been getting hit with a DDOS attack. Our WAN team is looking into CloudFlare as a means of protection against future attacks? If you have worked with them or have a contact I can speak to I'd appreciate it. -- John J. Boris, Sr.
