Let me say that any website that wants to verify my humanity is an auto backbutton press.
Not sure what issues people have that they need CF in front. Obligatory in 25 years of running my own servers I never needed ddos protection or w/e it is CF is offering.
You didn't personally need ddos protection for any of your web resources? Good for you. Doesn't mean the need isn't real; basically all popular/valuable websites need some level of ddos protection at some point.
In all my life I have also never needed to defend myself in any way; I've never been in a fight. Therefore, no one needs to defend themselves ever and all forms of self-defence are bogus.
All it takes is pissing off the wrong person on the internet; knocking a server offline is surprisingly easy.
