You can set up a free Cloudflare plan and use their nameservers. Or if you have a Linode account you can add the domain there and use theirs.

- _akhe 2y agoThe point is they're backed by the government and military-industrial-complex :) Their annoying and slow "Human Verification" redirect is just an example of how they solve problems - poorly. I would never use that crap and I can't believe anyone on HN does
