Just because they are suggesting you to rush to centralization and
Cloudflare is already enough reasons to flee them.

Also, it is legitimate that they block traffic to that IP for the time
of the attack but suspending the whole service permanently is
irresponsible. The attacker must be very satisfied.

Based on the relay's page, it looks like it was IPv6 capable which
means that they could have blocked the v4 traffic while keeping your VM
up and reachable in v6...
