Unlimited free is almost always a lie.

  But in this case it literally is? Cloudflare provides unlimited HTTP traffic on all plans, exactly what they claim. Sourcehut needs a different service.

    HTTP(S)-only _is_ the limit.

      Yeah, because protecting other protocols would require a totally different approach and product. This isn't a conspiracy. The Cloudflare HTTP CDN cannot protect SSH any more than a condom will make a good umbrella just because they both are designed for protection!

        There is no chance of unlimited http even - otherwise startups would free ride that for their video sites etc

    every / Netflix / porn site etc would use the unlimited free http traffic service if they could. I’d start a YouTube competitor. At some point if you use a lot of bandwidth you will get a call. So unlimited http traffic is a lie. Heck - my guess if you dumped a few petabytes into New Zealand or similar with high term costs you’d get a call
