My Laravel API is behind cloudflare, is it possible to mitigate all DDOS attacks on the pro plan?

In its current state, the Laravel API running on nginx can be downed pretty easily by flooding it with requests. Cloudflare doesn't seem to be blocking these attacks on the fly, it thinks it is genuine traffic.

What about your dns setup? If it's not at full strict set it to that Also is your rate limiting rule appropriate for the average requests coming in?
