Cloudflare has a move that makes DDoS-mitigation world (reducing the effect of DDoS) surprised to announce its intention to provide DDoS protection tools when it reaches the peak without taking any more money.

This is a brave move when most businesses that provide DDoS-mitigation make a lot of profit through this activity (called Surge Protection).

Not many people can afford DDoS Surge Protection

Surge Protection appears when DDoS attack reaches the top and the user's protection plan cannot handle incoming traffic.

DDoS-mitigation businesses will often ask customers to pay extra or very rarely, they will click them out of the network when the company's network cannot handle the attack without affecting other customers.

Without paying the Surge Protection fee, the DDoS attack will peak and knock down the target website.

Users of Cloudflare products will now be free of charge when DDoS reaches its peak

Even if the impact of the attack can be minimized, the fee charged will cause many victims to rethink paying ransom in the face of a similar attack.

Cloudflare promises to offer Surge Protection at no extra charge

'The truth is that our network can reduce the impact of the largest DDoS attack without affecting other customers,' said Matthew Prince, Cloudflare's CEO, the Cloudflare statement can handle up to 15 Tps. .

'Today, on the first day of the birthday week, we officially announce that Cloudflare will not attack customers anymore, no matter how big the DDoS attack scale is and no matter which package they use,' Prince said. 'Unlike any previous practice in the industry, we will not make your bill up.'

'We call this Unmetered Mitigation', coming from the idea that you don't have to pay extra for protection. ' Cloudflare also posted two blog posts explaining how they use No Scrubs and Gatebot technology to provide DDoS unlimited protection.
