If your website is experiencing a sudden spike in malicious traffic or a DDoS attack, every second counts. Cloudflare’s Under Attack mode is a powerful defensive tool that can help protect your site during these critical moments. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to quickly enable it directly from your ORIV dashboard — no need to log into Cloudflare separately. Cloudflare’s Under Attack mode performs additional security checks to help mitigate layer 7 DDoS attacks. Validated users can still access your website, while suspicious traffic is blocked. It is designed to be used as a last resort when your site is under attack, and will temporarily pause access to your site and may impact your site analytics. With ORIV, you can enable Cloudflare Under Attack mode right from the ORIV dashboard.

​
Step 1: Go to the Tools Options

First, go to your site dashboard. From there, navigate to Tools → Nginx and Security in your ORIV dashboard.

That’s all it takes. With just a few clicks in your ORIV dashboard, you can activate Cloudflare’s Under Attack mode and add an extra layer of protection to your site during a DDoS attack. Remember that this mode is meant for active threats — once the attack subsides, turn it off so your visitors can access your site without the additional security challenge.
