There’s a real lack of education I’ve seen in developers for small projects who go directly to cloudflare for anything and everything. They don’t understand that they are immediately losing a large chunk of their user base who is either from the third world or is privacy literate. Devs working on projects that are targeting those groups need to understand the tradeoffs from using cloudflare.
- kevincox 4y agoObviously they don't. Clourdflare's markets itself as a super easy set-it-and-forget-it solution. The problem is that it isn't. The defaults are broken and it requires careful configuration and monitoring. Of course this isn't good marketing so the only way a user can know is posts like these or to accidently block their users and hear the reports. (Obviously Cloudflare's UI will only tell you how evil bots it blocked were.)
