really... it is kind of ridicoulus to keep fixing on cloudflare... We need to protect our service from DDOS. All these services who protect you would be a problem for you. How would you solve the problem?
So you are saying that cloudflare is the only solution for DDOS attacks and nothing else works?
Oh and btw cloudflare is often used for free or it's very cheap and I think that is one of the reasons why you and many other websites are using it, but this doesn't mean it's good, especially for privacy related websites and mixers...
Good DDOS protection can be achieved without cloudflare, but it's not free.
