My machine is getting DDoSed, what I can do?

[LightDestory]

Since the start of this month, May, my machine which is under Cloudflare CDN is getting a lot of requests that are totally unexcepted.
My VPS provider notified me a DDoS attempt and nullrouted my machine for some hours but after some days they attacked me again.

I don’t know what I can do, Cloudflare notify me the big number of requests but it didn’t auto-active the “under attack mode”, I did it by myself.

Moreover CF doesn’t count these attack as a threat at all.
It is my first time experiencing something like this and I don’t know what I can do, my machine is currently shutdown to prevent futher attacks.

Regards,
