So basically my site was unaccessible and I went to logs folder to see what's wrong and noticed a lot of weird requests from various IPs:

I wonder if it's some kind of attack.
Did some whois lookup, for example this ip 185.220.100.252 is from Germany, "tor-exit-1.zbau.f3netze.de"
How can I protect server from such attacks?
They do like thousand of requests per minute and I can't access my own site.
Error.log says:
AH00161: server reached MaxRequestWorkers setting, consider raising the MaxRequestWorkers setting
(I'm not a webmaster, I host a small site for my needs and have no idea how to react.)
