It should be noted that you’re not permitted to stream video through Cloudflare unless you use their CDN.

I believe this is incorrect. I can’t find the forum post from Cloudflare but you cannot use the CDN to deliver video without paying for it, but you can use CF as a reverse proxy via Cloudflared to deliver video so long as you aren’t on the CDN
They even have blog posts on using Cloudflared for hobby video streaming projects like a RPi pet cam. Unless it’s assumed I have an enterprise account.

Unless you are an Enterprise customer, Cloudflare offers specific Paid Services (e.g., the Developer Platform, Images, and Stream) that you must use in order to serve video and other large files via the CDN. Cloudflare reserves the right to disable or limit your access to or use of the CDN, or to limit your End Users’ access to certain of your resources through the CDN, if you use or are suspected of using the CDN without such Paid Services to serve video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other large files. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of such action.

My understanding is that it’s technically against their TOS but loosely enforced. They don’t specify precise limits since they probably change over time and region. Once you get noticed, they’ll block your traffic until you pay. Hence you can find people online that have been using it for years no problem, while other folks have been less lucky.
Basically their business strategy is to offer too-good-to-be-true free services that people start using and relying on, then charging once the bandwidth gets bigger.
It used to be worse, and all of cloudflare’s services were technically limited to HTML files, but selectively enforced. They’ve since changed and clarified their policy a bit. As far as I’ve ever heard, they don’t give a toss about the legality of your content, unless you’re a neo Nazi.

I hate being torn between my hatred of tech monopolies and love of seeing Nazis get their shit rocked.

Don’t get too excited, it took a fucking long ass time for them to start pulling down neonazi content. For years I heard Patrick Grey (risky.biz) bitch about how Cloudflare refused to take down Nazi content they were hosting.

You’ve got this backwards. You can use it so long as you do use the CDN.
This further specifies that since you’re not an enterprise customer, in order to server video via the CDN you have to use their platform for your back end.

Sure if you only intend to stream your pets RPi webcam nothing to worry :) ! But don’t even get into streaming illegal content you don’t own !
I mean, your jellyfin instance is not going to be hooked to a Arr stack, is it?
nagaram@startrek.website 2 months ago
I don’t know what that is. So no.
And obvious it’s all movies and TV shows I own that’s just conveniently ripped for sharing with friends and family :)
N0x0n@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Yeah, than you have nothing to worry I guess? I’m not versed into all this legal shit whatsoever…
However if you intend to use the arrstack (sonarr, radarr…) to download and manage your own video library (netflix like), I’m not so sure they will agree on it.
