Problem

I’m experiencing what appears to be a malicious traffic attack on my project Vespa.

Current Behavior

  • About 1-2 hours ago, I noticed a sudden spike in traffic.
  • Another spike occurred approximately 17 minutes ago.
  • My usage jumped to almost 50% of my Hobby plan limit within minutes.
  • This traffic appears to be malicious/automated, not legitimate users.

What I’ve Tried

  • I attempted to block all traffic through the Firewall.

My Concerns

  • The malicious traffic is being counted toward my usage limits.
  • I’m worried about hitting my limits or being charged for illegitimate traffic.

Questions

  1. Is there any way to get this malicious traffic excluded from my usage?
  2. What’s the best way to protect my project from future attacks on the Hobby plan?
  3. Are there any additional Firewall settings I should configure?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
