If you have a need for things CloudFlare does, call Akamai and see if they can help you instead. Those folks have been nothing but amazing to me with every interaction.

When Boston hospitals were placed under DDoS attack years ago, we called Radware, who were also great to work with. Anybody but CloudFlare.

@rabbit Nazi-flare*

They host Nazis, kiwifarms(still right?), etc.

Fuck Cloudflare.

@rabbit

cloudflare hosts malware. I don't give a fuck about the technicalities. If your resolvers are authoratative, and/or the resolved IP falls in your address space, That is hosting malware.

While I'm at it, fuck Cloudflare, and fuck their involvement for forcing the DoH RFC through, and being the default provider for many modern browsers.

Wonder how many dicks Matthew Prince had to suck for that.

@da_667 @rabbit Wow, one of us! I was the DNS manager for a CF competitor for a few years, and I gotta hand it to their marketing department the way they spun "We're changing DNS for your security!" for competitive advantage. I feel like Don Quixote and CF DNS are the windmills. It's nice to see someone in the wild see that.

@da_667 @rabbit Also, I'd like to plug Edgio (the previously mentioned competitor). They're having a bit of trouble lately, and even if I got laid off last year I still wish them well. There's a lot of good people there who will treat you right.

@rabbit oh, and while we're on the cloudflare paintrain, at some point they claimed to handling 20% of internet traffic. Recently they claimed that 7% of all internet traffic is malicious. Exactly how do they know that, and how much of it is traffic to and from their infrastructure?

@da_667 @rabbit there's one domain that we had proof was being used in an active scam targeting our customers (full email headers, etc)

we have brand protection through CSC

cloudflare completely ignored CSC and our only recourse would have been UDRP.

@da_667 @rabbit at this point, I consider cloudflare in the same light I consider anyone else favored by threat actors: DNI at all costs

@rabbit I have a cousin there, been there since almost day one, and it's a fantastic organization. 100% agreed.

@rabbit honest question. Is there a competitor that offers good DNS, domains, analytics, and a Zero Trust solution that integrates with The DNS, and has a no egress cost for Backblaze, etc. I use a ton of CF services that allow me to expose to the Internet, but have some protection.

I would love to switch, but I don't have $1000s to pay for these services for my homelab/self-hosted stuff. And I get it all free from CF.

I also don't have a lot of time to manage stuff. Got 2 young kids and a job
