I feel this and as a German company, we have our stuff hosted in the EU. But where it becomes pointless to have the host in the EU, is when Cloudflare is a requirement. Since we expose ourselfs through their certificate, we might as well host with a US company. And I’m not aware of a EU Cloudflare competitor with similar WAF offering.

I would try Myra. They are based in Munich.
Their pricing shows me “starts at 399€/month”, that’s insane. CF Pro is 25$/month.
try Gcore as an EU alternative for Cloudflare
Can you explain that a bit more?
A full integration with Cloudflare means it is their SSL certificate that’s presented to the visitor of your website, and all traffic is passed through them. They do read everything.

Thus it’s pointless to host in the EU if everything first has to go through a US company.
