Last month my personal hobby account got ddosed and disabled, which is fair.
When can I expect it to be reenabled?
I don’t want to move my personal website projects to my company’s paid account if possible.
Thanks,
Andreas
Hey @chronark! I can help with this.
Did you make any changes to protect that site against unexpected high usage in the future? I want to be sure your account isn’t going to be automatically paused again right after we unpause it.
It was a one time attack I believe.
What could I even do to prevent this again?
The account mostly has publicly accessible static sites.
Implementing a rate limiting strategy, such as the one in this Add Rate Limiting with Vercel Edge Middleware and Vercel KV guide, could help prevent similar issues in the future.
You can also use Vercel Firewall to protect your sites. Attack Challenge Mode can be used to quickly disable traffic as a temporary measure. And Web Application Firewall (WAF) can be configured with custom rules.
I’ve unpaused your account, but please keep a close watch of usage in case it gets unexpectedly high again.
