Lately i noticed a number of cloudfare outages in popular websites, does this relate or is it just because the cloudfare network had some technical glitches?

Although there were a bunch of outages, I'm pretty sure Cloudflare stated the problem wasn't on their end.

Software on my deciated server already blocked attacks from IP's belonging to: - China - Mongolia - Netherlands - Turkey - Iran - Moldova - Romania - Kazakhstan - France - Taiwan - UK Pretty diversified attack in progress.

That's normal though right? Are you comparing this to historical data? Also, what kind of attacks are you seeing?

Are you using something like fail2ban? I'm seeing slightly higher activities on all my servers, but I doubt it's actually statistically significant (i.e. not different from random)

A glance at the logs and it looks like our dedicated servers are fail2banning IPs at pretty much the normal background level—i.e. a fairly steady stream of mostly Chinese addresses all day long.
