Ask HN: Do all of you use Cloudflare for preventing DDoS, Bot and more attacks?

I use Cloudflare free tier for SSL, Cloudflare Tunnels, Prebuilt DDos protection, Bot protection and more. What about you?

I refuse to give my data, to yet another company trying to control and centralize the internet. For their "Free" service.

Instead, I pay money to run a VM with DDOS protection on vultr, to guard my infrastructure I run on prem. Use Acme.sh / lets encrypt for certs. Use bunny.net for CDN which also has some basic protections.
