7 requests per second from Cloudflare-Traffic-Manager/1.0

[branislav.sobotka]

I have very high trafic from Cloudflare-Traffic-Manager/1.0 robot.
It’s 5 to 7 requests per second all day. All requests in second from different IP.
Please help how to get lower trafic from this robot?

Do you use Cloudflare Load Balancing on your site? A similar issue here with an explanation.

DOS attack by Cloudflare against our website - no support provided

I don’t really call this a “DoS attack” since it’s just a normal health check traffic sent from the Cloudflare Load Balancer and you mentioned that it’s just 10+ requests per second, which is… very low. Anyway, it seems like someone configured their load balancer in Cloudflare to include your server within their load balancing pool. Are you using a shared hosting service where one server is being used by multiple clients, or do you have your own dedicated server in your web hosting provider?

I use DNS Load Balancing with geo location and website is on dedicated server.

These healthchecks will likely be coming from your configuration then, if you head to the pool you have setup then you should be able to see the healthchecks there ans adjust them.
