My static website hosted on Firebase hosting is being hit from a particular IP. It has been making close to ten requests per second continuously for at least past couple of months. This has more than doubled my networking cost.
I have reported it to the hosting provider who owns the abusive IP but haven’t received a response.
What cost-effective options do I have on GCP to stop this abuse?
Hello @trends24in ,Welcome on Google Cloud Community.
You can utilize Cloud Armor for restricting IPs with Global LB, which will be associated with your Firebase domain.
