Hi
The Cloudflare-Alwaysonline crawler seems to excessively hit our frontpage from time to time, creating sort of a mini DDOS attack against the backend server. (400+ request within a minute)
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Always online - aggressive crawling?

Can you confirm the IP address in your log is one of the CF IPs? The user agent might be spoofed.
We didn’t expose the X-Forwarded-for in our log so I only see the ip-adress of the amazon loadbalancer. 
We’ve changed the log-format so we can check the IP-adress next time it happens. We have, however, decided to turn off the “Always online” feature as a preemptive step.
