They say the attack "exceeded 100Gbps" (https://protonmaildotcom.wordpress.com/). I moved my server to OVH 6 months ago, and since then any DDoS attacks don't affect me at all. OVH say they can handle up to 480Gbps of attacks, and people are reporting that they are getting up to 90Gbps of DDoS attacks mitigated by OVH without any problem. Their DDoS protection is completely free with any of their dedicated servers.

I don't really understand the logic behind setting up with a Swiss datacenter with zero (or very little) DDoS protection. It is pretty much guaranteed that China will DDoS you if you are in any way involved in helping dissident groups.
