I ended up dropping IP of Meta, Cloudflare, AWS, and Azure datacentres that were hammering iocaine and effectively DDOSing my network with outbound responses. Dropping them at nginx level sorted that. I wrote about it.
But this shouldn't be a thing. With the aggressive and combative nature of these things, one would think regulatory bodies for the country they reside in should be having words with them... but I guess no govt departments have power now as they're all bought and paid for.
Welcome to the future, I guess?
