Hello, in terms of protection from ddos and any other abuse, what would I have to do? I know that cloudfare could help me, but what do I have to do exactly?

Here's how you setup cloudflare: https://typesense-community.slack.com/archives/C01P749MET0/p1643993514137789?thread_ts=1643992951.867889&cid=C01P749MET0 Once that's done it's pretty much handled by Cloudflare from that point

@Jason Bosco How do I set up IP-based blocking? It seems that Cloudfare has so many services, where do I navigate? is it “api shield”?

@Lukas Visinskis It's under Security -> WAF and then you add a Firewall Rule
