What if you want to run a service that can't go behind Cloudflare (such as a game server)?

You rent with a provider that uses Magic Transit by CF, Corero appliances, OVH, Psychz, or Path networks.

We have plenty of game servers behind us. See Cloudflare Spectrum: https://developers.cloudflare.com/spectrum/

Spectrum is cool but priced completely out of reach for most Cloudflare users.

I proxy through Fly.io or AWS Global Accelerator when I can’t use Cloudflare for TCP as a hobbyist.

(Why only three protocols and such strict limits, years after launching? You won’t cannibalize Spectrum by allowing more hobbyists to use it, you’ll market it for use at scale - like Argo Tunnel’s trycloudflare)

I presume they were referring to gameservers run by communities and not by game studios? I run gameservers for events that raise money for charity and we're having more and more of our boxes get hit offline - last time I had a look Spectrum required an enterprise plan for anything other than Minecraft?
