I use Netlify to host my frontend projects and portfolio. Does anyone have a way to prevent something like this?
You can put the site behind cloudflare for DDOS protection. Unfortunately, it's not good for user privacy and it will make the site difficult to access over VPNs, proxies, and TOR.
Netlifiy is very expensive for bandwidth and the free bandwidth can be exceeded very quickly. I would look for something with a hard bandwidth cap. Then your site will just go offline if the bandwidth is exceeded.
Difficult, but not impossible (unless the site owner also goes and futher implements additional measures like ASN blocking for known proxies/VPNs/etc), just solve a captcha and you should be on your way pretty much.
