offer free plan for zero trust protection, no bandwidth or speed limits, the limit is 50 seats for free plan which is plenty for personal uses
There is bandwidth threshholds after which their sales team contacts you. You just haven't hit them yet.
@flowerfield : may i know how much the bandwidth limit? i already used TBs of bandwidth so far and it still working without issues
Summary
Popular. But risk of censorship.
Strength
Popular global content delivery network (CDN)
Challenge
Both Cloudflare owner Matthew Prince and the Cloudflare administration, have an history of censoring people and organizations with views they disagree with. In other words, if Cloudflare disagree with your personal views, it is risky that they will censor you. In turn, your visitors will not be able to access your content.
Of course Cloudflare are really free to do business or not do business with anyone to their liking. While at the same time, if someone use a website owned by Cloudflare to make a call for violence, does that make Cloudflare themselves calling for violence, anti-semitism, neo-nazy? Of course not. Because the user's views and her/his subject matter and contents thereof, such as, but not limited to, text, media, or otherwise, do not necessarily reflect the views of the Cloudflare administration. How about the same thing the other way around for Cloudflare's clients?

I like Cloudflare, it's what sits in front of pretty much every one of our domains for DNS and CDN, plus free managed SSL on a couple of subdomains where our origin can't do ACME HTTP-01 (a firewall issue on our end, not theirs). Tunnel has also saved us from opening inbound ports on a couple of internal tools. My one real complaint is the dashboard UX for zone-level settings can be a maze when you're managing a dozen-plus domains - a lot of clicking between zones for things that feel like they should be bulk-editable.
Awesome service to host images on your tech stack. The freemium level is very generous.
using the Cloudflare since long and it's amazing making website fast and secure.
This is the best server making your website secure and fast.
This thing is not solving any problems it supposed to, the protection it gives to the sites is bogus. On the other hand, the frustration people face every day from being blocked off a site is very much real. Thank you, Cloudflare, for ruining the internet and centralizing it in the claws of the cynical, greedy big corpo moguls. Whoever invented you obviously does not like human beings at all. https://git.fuwafuwa.moe/cypherpunks/stop_cloudflare
