Bunny has raised money from VC which indicates it’s going the “Wall Street” path. Anubis is a bot firewall not a CDN.

I wouldn't trust a provider that has "Excellent (underlined) star star star star star STAR TrustPilot 4.8 on G2" on their landing page. I bet they are also award winning, and 150 best place to work at. Really shows they have no taste.

  ? I don't remember telling anyone to trust the reviews? I think it is healthy to try alternatives to Cloudflare and then come to your own decision.

    I'm not saying you did, but for me things like what I mentioned are red flags. They also use C#—another red flag. There's OVH, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, etc—all are private companies that aren't on Wall Street.

      No. DigitalOcean is owned by Wall Street. Only Hetzner is a good alternative CDN.

        You're right, DO is public.

If you want to do this 100% yourself there is Apache Traffic Control. https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol > Anubis is a bot firewall not a CDN. For now. If we support alternatives they can grow into an open source CDN.

  Anubis is a piece of software not a CDN service. You realize to run a CDN you have to buy massive amounts of bandwidth and computers? DIY here belies a misunderstanding of what it takes to be DOS resistant and also what it takes to actually have CDN deliver a performance benefit.

    This is a great idea for Anubis, funding future development and it being an alternative CDN. Customers on the enterprise plan can either use Anubis's Managed CDN or host Anubis themselves via a enterprise license! They can directly receive tech support from the creator of Anubis. (as long as they pay on the enterprise plan) I don't see a problem with this and it can turn Anubis from "a piece of software" into a CDN.

      Has anyone from the Anubis project said anything about aspiring to transform into a CDN?

      Maybe they can also start a marketplace to buy and sell digital goods, like NFTs.
