How has your experience with Bunny been? I'm quite split on it. I used to work for a business in a pretty competitive area, where tactics like fake DMCA requests and abuse cases are routinely used to attempt to take down information, be it from Google, or from the CDN/hosting provider. While at first Bunny support seemed understanding of it, later they unceremoniously blocked the account on the basis of too many complaints having been filed, despite all of them being responded to in due time and being proven false. OTOH, their support staff would respond lightning-fast, which was a breath of fresh air compared to other CDNs we used before. I could see myself using Bunny for personal projects, or some non-vital business, but probably not for anything with lots of competition.

it's a super cheap "CDN" that runs on Hetzner and random hosts or their colo, it's not as proper as the other ones. for anything DMCA heavy maybe just buying dedicated servers or something instead could work?

  We used to expose the dedicated servers directly (i.e. no CDN at all), and while that was fine latency-wise, the lack of DDoS protection was really the limiting factor. E.g. Hetzner will just blackhole your subnet if you get DDoSed. It feels rather unviable nowadays to run a business without some CDN/DDoS protection service in front of your website.

    yeah, but dealing with DDoS is easier in terms of DMCA unlike with CDNs because it's you hosting it, not the service provider (this is how Cloudflare avoids DMCA when you cache with them iirc) so if you can just find a good dedicated server provider that won't cut you off, maybe that's a potential solution? just my 2 cents though

  they use datapacket/cdn77, no?

    they run on a blend of everything depending on the region from my experience. Hetzner is one of the providers they use

To be honest, it's been flawless but since I mostly use it for personal or self hosting, I haven't had or deal with your situation. I have had to contact support and they are very fast. I also use it to hide and protect my hetzner server. It works well. My only gripe is the ipv6 thing
