So looked into how EH is hosted and it seems like it is ran on a server by Linode. All of their plans include 40 gbps incoming traffic. Yes 40 GIGABITS PER SECOND. That is a lot. It is pretty hard for someone to generate traffic that big. It has to be someone with access to a lot of devices to generate an attack that big.
I am thinking the problem is that the hardware is being overloaded. I don’t know what EH is currently running on but it needs an upgrade.

lol I saw but… it’s alright and we have only so much traffic so I figured the right few people would see anyway
