It sure would be nice to be able to easily throw up a CDN like Cloudflare in front of my ssh server with no client side special sauce required.
I didn't see it stated in the documentation, it this feels like something that might work for that setup.
- ryandvm 3y agoWhy are people obsessed with implanting CloudFlare right in the middle of everything they do? There is absolutely nobody that needs DDoS for their SSH server. I get that CloudFlare has been a well behaved netizen so far, but let's be real, it won't last forever. It never does. Eventually the shareholders start turning the screws and CloudFlare is going to succumb to the same pressures every company does and they're going to start extracting advertising value from their "customers". How about we save the CDNs for the serious stuff and just run our SSH servers and low traffic HTTP sites ourselves?
- InvaderFizz 3y agoAbsolutely nothing to do with DDoS in my case. I want censorship regimes to have to break large portions of the internet for their citizens to stop even the most simple leak vector. Let them block Cloudflare, Akamai, and Cloudfront.

- chrisandchris 3y agoWhich still means that the HTTP-server can be behind CloudFlare, but nobody accesses your blog through SSH (hence not necessary to put it behind CloudFlare).
- account42 3y agoYou don't need buttflare to handle HN levels of traffic. And even if your wordpress or other shitty blog software falls over for a couple of hours? So what, it's a personal website.

- ranting-moth 3y agoI'm pretty sure even if CF went rouge you'd be able to keep your SSH connections ad free for a low $1.99/month subscription.
