I always lock my computer when I walk away from it so my dog can’t start hacking the CIA.

Well there was someone who was shadow banned on Reddit by mistake for years, and they thought everyone hated them because no one replied or upvoted. So it’s not always the best option.

I can’t speak for everyone, but they increase the security and performance of websites for free. I’m sure a lot of people would like to move away from Cloudflare, but every time I try to find an alternative, none of their competitors even come close. Let’s say I moved one of my websites to Bunny CDN and transferred 1TB per month, that could increase my website cost by $120 per year.

The sad reality is that Cloudflare can basically do whatever they want until another competitor offers a good free alternative, which is unlikely because Cloudflare has a monopoly. We would effectively be asking millions of websites to pay to use a service with less features.

I’m still looking for a good alternative, so if anyone has one then please let me know.
