Comment on OpnSense + Crowdsec = comfort
non_burglar@lemmy.world 3 days agoOn my setup crowdsec has been more effective than cloudflare at stopping scanners and bots from overloading things
Cloudflare is in the business of keeping infrastructure up and working. Any security benefits of CF are secondary.
They do talk a lot about security and their WAF on their home page, it might be secondary but they do mention it a lot.

Sure, but that WAF solution is not for us, it’s aimed at clients who can measure their web presence in millions of requests per second.
Cloudflare is a CDN first and foremost, their success competing with Fastly and Akamai has been good to them, but they don’t care if you get pwned unless you have a ton of money.
I guess? They advertise it as blocking bots and bad actors and such but it doesn’t really do that.
