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!

Any company funded by venture capital is coming for your money eventually, whatever they say in the short term.

    You're not wrong, but the only difference (and time will tell if its sufficient), is that they intentionally and explicitly use the free tier for advertisement, so killing that kills their reputation overnight.

    But if all else fails and they try to enshitify, their apps are BSD licenced on github, and headscale is adequate, so the free tier would just shift to headscale and carry on.
