we have hosted our website (server, Linux Debian ) on Google Compute Engine instance, the problem is that, from last 5 days, someone (unknown ) unexpected user making continually request to our website,(home page) that's why, our back-end server load is increasing, and unexpected data download is increasing. we saw our server log, continually request is coming to our server.

for that we tried to reach request point from where these continues request is making, but we are not able to find. Kindly suggest us, how to stop that continuous requests.

Is there any service to protect our compute engine instance from unknown users?

Please find below snippet is out server log.same request making continually

You can always block traffic from certain IPs by setting up Firewall rules.

This approach is quite naive and in case you're under real DDoS attack - consider using a real DDoS mitigation solution like CloudFlare, etc.
