You shouldn't need "cloudflared". You could setup a 486 on a ISDN line, serve traffic without worry of needing SSL, being DDoS'd and all the rest. The WWW has become so unsettled that it's now become a basic requirement of needing SSL & Cloudflare for a static webserver. Not dissing the tech but it all makes the overhead so much more complicated. I used to run an IRCd on 56k where it would disconnect you after three hours. With two modems timed just right you could dial-back in to the ISP on the second modem just as the other disconnected and have about a near second of downtime with no connection loss. Some of the best Quake 3 servers I played on were on 56K; truely a magical expirence now lost.
