    DDoS-Guard vs Cloudflare Comments
    BarnMTB
    Positive
    0

    Less prone to censorship & political activism than Cloudflare, who pulled many rugs out of their customers in the past because of differences in beliefs.

    If one day your website got big enough and someone at Cloudflare decided that they don't like your opinion, they can just pull the rug. As a bonus, your website will also be humiliated in the news for being so terrible that Cloudflare can't stand you.
