    One thing I didn't mention is that Cloudflare is also one of the *cheapest* places on the Internet to register domain names! In order to register a domain at Cloudflare, it _has_ to use Cloudflare DNS. That is another advantage to learning DNS and using Cloudflare.

      I would argue having to use their DNS is a disadvantage to registering a domain with them as it limits your options.

    just to add to this, the ability to easily set up the WAF rules to block out bots, threatscores, countries/continents, ips, etc has saved me from a lot of paranoia. also with CF tunnels being able to set up access rules to only certain emails for more restricted resources

      @Craylor  11 месяцев назад +1

      I’ve heard of Easy DNS, but I’ve not tested it. I’m sure there are some alternatives, but it’s hard to compete with the scale of Cloudflare. They are a truly massive entity. I don’t think they’ll start charging any time soon as I think they value collecting the data that runs through their service. However, if they ever did start charging, it wouldn’t be too difficult to change platforms. I would definitely be doing a tutorial on it!

      My experience with Cloudfare:
      Today (8/14/24) I went online to fill out a medical questionnaire for my first doctors appointment with a new doctor in order to get an appointment for excruciating pain in my jaw which I’ve been having for two weeks.
      I’m sure you know how lengthy the forms are because you have to give your entire life history of medical facts.
      So it took me about 20-30 minutes to get through the form and I just needed to upload my current medication list, so I had to go to my Google drive to find my list and make a copy available for the doctor but when I uploaded the list and tried to send it, I was redirected to a page that said with a BIG RED ❌ :
      Sorry, You Have Been Blocked and the following message:
      This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.
      I’m just a grandmother trying to get a doctors appointment.
      I’ll never patronize any business using Cloudfare because I don’t break any laws. I’m an honest person. I give a lot of money to charity and I can’t imagine a future where we are judged by some lax internet security protocol of a business.
