How is ChartBuddy doing it?
It links to an IP-address instead of a domain name. Does that mean the attack is on the image proxy's DNS server?

Don't do this! This directly exposes the IP address to every DDoSer in the world, and it will be much harder to switch servers if all the images have the IP address hardcoded.
For now, Cloudflare is acting as a sort of black hole for all the website traffic, but I'm guessing if joker_josue wanted to make this work with IP addresses, it would probably fix the issue, but I do not recommend it for the above reasons.
