The DOS protection service can help, but it's not as easy as proxying
through Cloudflare.

Also it can be difficult to manage - with the DOS protection service you
have to name individual IPs/blocks of IPs to ban. In one of the posts above
you can see the IP "188.165.15.95" originating these requests. That IP
belongs to OVH, a fairly large web hosting firm. You either have to list
out all the harassing IPs in the blacklist, or ban address blocks which may
accidentally interfere with legitimate requests from OVH-rented servers.
