ERR_CONNECTION_RESET - Site is down

My site is under DDoS Attack.

When I open directly by pointing domain to origin, it opens normally.

But under Cloudflare proxy the browser returns ‘ERR_CONNECTION_RESET’

When I pointed to another CF IP 188.114.96.2 it works but what by default I get via Public DNS Resolver (i.e, 104.21.61.186) that doesn’t work

Hi there,

Can you advise what do you see on your Origin logs when Cloudflare connects to your site?

Thank you.

I couldn’t realize that.

Just by pointing to different IP based on dnschecker report I felt it’s working, through I am on free plan not sure if that is cause.

Thanks for the response.
