Man, if the state of the art is to suggest something Cloudflare related, that's a really sad state of affairs.

Totally agree. I’m thinking in terms and concepts like “iptables”, “ipset”, “fail2ban”, “cidr”, “asn”… while everyone else is thinking about how to change their cloudflare settings.

OP even said they gave up on cloudflare but people are trying to upsell him on the higher tiers through this hn post!

They really are very good. The only real vendor in the IaaS space innovating once AWS and its ilk stagnated.

Before them, companies like Imperva were charging way more for inferior blocking.

Cloudflare is awesome!

They do cater to a need and their solution is effective.
