Here we go. I found the websites are not available at noon.  I checked the server status. All good. But the websites return a 404 error.

OK, I just restarted the PHP-FPM service. Because the static page is OK. So the Nginx web server is OK.

I restarted the PHP-FPM service multiple times. The server is not working after a few minutes. So I guess it is the DoS attacking.

I check the Cloudflare dashboard.

One of my websites has tons of requests in a very short time period.

The blue line jumped at 9:00 AM. I just noticed it at noon. So I changed the security setting.

The blue line dropped as per my expectation.

Look at the yellow/orange line.  It represented the requests blocked or challenged by Cloudflare.

It is the security information on the Cloudflare dashboard.
