@prologic Huh. I don’t really know how Cloudflare works, never used it. I assumed that the main use case is something along the lines of Anycast (they pick a proxy/cache close to the client). Do I understand correctly that you mainly used it for TLS termination? 🤔

@movq I was using Cloudflare primarily for 3 reasons: 1) For hosting DNS records 2) For reverse proxying into my infra's services and 3) As a layer of defense against DDoS attacks or stupid misbehaving bots. I'm still using Cloudflare for 1) but 2/3 are now done entirely by something I've built myself (_and working well_). Turns out in order to have decent analytics (_metrics, stats, etc_) on traffic, you have to pay Cloudflare $20/month. That's fine, and I did/do that for twtxt.net
. But, if you want to know the originating IP address of requests, that's an "enterprise" feature and that'll cost you $200/month 😱
