[Koha] any recommended best practises for handling DoS / DDoS attacks on Koha?

[Karam Qubsi]

Hi ,
A free account on CloudFlare ( https://www.cloudflare.com/ ) , can protect
your domain , I didn't try it before, but someone advised me to use it for
such cases .

You may try it as it is free .

Best wishes .
