- tyingq 9y agoRight. The question is whether that is a permanent limitation, or if they might open it up more broadly in the future. The diagrams in the write up show that it's a global caching proxy, so not very different from Cloudflare.

- mikecb 9y agoThis is what protected Brian Krebs pro bono after traffic grew too big for Akamai. Great talk about it at Enigma earlier this year: https://youtu.be/ifp8l2yx7JA https://youtu.be/ifp8l2yx7JA
