| I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Thanks! Yeah my original plan was to use B2 as storage and build my own caching system on Hetzner dedicated machines, as you suggested. Excess traffic was very reasonably priced at Hetzner at 1€ per TB. Since October 4, 2018 they've made traffic completely free. [1] However it's the B2 traffic pricing that was bugging me, as they charge $10 per TB. When the Bandwidth Alliance got announced between Cloudflare & B2 to make B2 traffic free, it was like a dream come true. Especially because at the time this was announced the Cloudflare terms allowed for caching all legal files. Unfortunately on October 26, 2018 Cloudflare changed their terms again to prohibit non-html caching. [2] Thanks to your comments here and also jgrahamc saying that forcing to upgrade shouldn't happen anymore, I'm now a bit more optimistic again about using Cloudflare. I need to research & think some more to decide the exact plan, but even something like using Cloudflare to tunnel data from B2 to Hetzner for free sounds pretty nice. -- [1] https://www.hetzner.com/news/traffic-limit/ [2] Use of the Service for the storage or caching of video (unless purchased separately as a Paid Service) or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other non-HTML content, is prohibited. https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/ |
