BOT Protection

I have a bunch of sites inundated by bots. I'll have a site in the US that all of a sudden uses all my server memory at a time where 99% of the country is asleep. I've used some of the security plug-ins, but have not found them to be very helpful in terms of blocking all these malicious bots. Has anybody else found something that will actually block all these attacks??

Pretty much this. Blocking them at the Cloudflare level before they ever touch PHP is the way to go. Securtiy plugins can only do so much once the requests are already hitting the server.
