> CloudFlare is a very helpful service if you are a website owner and don’t want to deal with separate services for CDN, DNS, *basic DDOS protection* and other (superficial) security needs
A lot of people try to downplay cloudflare's ddos protection but it saved me so many times over the years. I honestly don't think that there exists a good solution that someone with without a lot of money and resources can leverage besides cloudflare.
It's almost dismissed in the first sentence as "basic DDOS protection" as if there is any other company that provides an ironclad solution besides cloudflare, especially free for a tiny niche community. There is none that I am aware of.
