    If you assume that they are attacking your server IP directly, and that is what it sounds like, there really is no way to stop a DDoS attack at the server level. The traffic levels alone are overwhelming the server and its not possible for your server to also act as a filter for that traffic. This kind of attack has to happen upstream of the server by a device or system designed to filter and block traffic before it gets to your server. If you know what domain triggered the attack then you can try putting it behind cloudflare and changing the DNS, however, this will likely be of little effect because at this point they already have your IP. If its a dumb attack, then this could help and within a day or so the domain based traffic will get routed to cloudflare.

    @GOT is correct, if this is an IP based attack even the normal mitigation steps of utilizing CloudFlare will not be useful - CSF has some port flooding and connection tracking features that may prove slightly useful but a DDoS attack directed at your server's IP is best mitigated by the provider/Datacenter
