Hello, today I added a subdomain to my server. An nginx proxy is running in the background and I’m passing data from an API. I prepared everything and did ssl authentication with certbot. However, when I tried to access my site, I got the “Blocked because of an intrusion attack” warning. I searched for a solution to the problem but couldn’t find it. I am using Ubuntu droplet. In several forums they said that the source of this error is the provider (Digital Ocean). How can I solve this problem? The error screenshot is below.

Hello there,
As mentioned it’s unlikely to be coming from DigitalOcean.
You can examine the server access logs and check for malicious requests and general spikes in the load on the server in order to determine whether there was an issue related to a vast amount of traffic or not.
