You don't think anyone else has any reason to launch a DDoS? That it's all done, even partially, by cloudflare? that's a hell of an accusation

- slackfan 4y agoPeople have run experiments, Cloudflare is absolutely a protection racket.
- ehutch79 4y agoThere’s evidence that cloudflare is what, threatening to ddos people if they don’t sign up? What would need an experiment to prove that? You would just have the proverbial receipts Or do you have proof that they’re actually ddos in people?
- slackfan 4y agoStep 1: start up a noname site, ensure you are not indexed, do not advertise Step 2: Enable cloudflare, paid tier, hang around with it turned on for a month or so Step 3: Simulate some usage traffic Step 4: Cancel your cloudflare contract Step 5: Watch your unknown site get ddosed Coincidence? Suuuuuure Cloudflare itself doesnt need to ddos you, plenty of ddos for hire outfits out there that will happily do it. As to who hires them, well that's between them and their customers. But there are some things that are not coincidences.
