People using Cloudflare, are you still happy with it? Would you consider any self-hosted alternative? (discuss.online)

Genuine question, so please don't be mean to whoever responds. Better to learn than to judge.

Curious if people who are on Cloudflare are considering any selfhosted alternatives? If not, interested to hear what is a deal breaker in regards to using a service besides Cloudflare. I do hear a lot of praise for Cloudflare when facing DDOS, and always happy to learn more!

Yep, simply wondering what you think about it. Thanks, so the CDN is what you find hardest / impossible to replace without paying more from a similar service.

    I did it more for the security aspect, but as @MinFapper@startrek.website points out, there are many advantages. The AI crawlers, the bad actors, et al make even the free tier worth considering. Don't go in blindly tho. Do some searching and reading and make up your own mind.
