All my first nodejs app was working well until I got a DDos attack on the server. Going to have to look into this further on why this happened.
Has any one else had this happen ?
Sorry to hear that. Fortunately not. I use cloudflare to prevent and mitigate that possibility.

yes I think that’s one thing I will have to look into, still not taken that long to swap over to Digital Ocean, just having drama with the bloody SSL at the min. 
If you use Traefik together with docker machine deployment of NodeJS, it has some pretty good options to protect against ddos attacks:

We just haven’t exposed those options in the UI, so you will have to enter them in the docker-compose.yml file for the specific docker machine you are working with, under the Wappler sub folder there.

Jesus looking at their pages you are allowed over 50 pages is a lot of money a month!
I saw traffic in the settings on Wappler for ssl and clicked it to add it, it went through the motions, but then it kept on failing.
It seems every time I add SSL it breaks the droplet
Sorry. I quite don’t get you. 50 pages? What do you mean?
You should follow:
And specially clear the port field when using Traefik.

@George don’t forget this suggestion for exposing Traefik options in the UI, particularly to aid against DDoS attacks - and if you can include a custom HTTPS certificate option as well that would be nice
