DDoS attack primary goal is to make the target server unreacheable for users. It is in the name - Distributed Denial of Service attack. If user can't access the service, i.e. denied of service, the goal of DDoS is reached. Cloudflare prevents only the flooding of server with a storm of requests. And it prevents it by not forwarding them to the server. Yes, target server continue to work, but nobody could access it, because Cloudflare drop requests. In any case user denied from service.
So, such DDoS "prevention" have no sense at all, since users still denied from service. In the best case, only thing server owner get is lower incoming traffic during DDoS, and that's all.
Marketing lies of cloudflare does not make the whole thing work. Just swindle server owners into selling all their users to the hands of that shitty BigBrother company that will mitm even into SSL connections (yes, in any mode Cloudflare decrypt trafic from target server and encrypt trafic for users with their own certificate - check lock icon in your URL bar for conspiracies.win - it will be Cloudflare certificate).
I would not be surprised if it will be revealed that cloudflare organize and do all that DDoS attacks on the sites that will never really could become a target of real DDoS just to convince site owners to buy into cloudflare man-in-the-middle crap.
That is a part of my job, dealing with DDoS and knowing how this things works.
Cloudflare is nothing more than man-in-the-middle surveillance company. It does not protect a service from DDoS at all. Even their public DNS service (1.1.1.1 f.e.) is nothing more than collecting information about what sites users visit and other tracking info about users. CDN is the same surveillance shit too.
Best DDoS protection is BGP blackholing. Cloudflare don't use it. Best DNS service is your own bind with list of root servers. Best CDN is your own servers. In no case Cloudflare services is necessary or even slightly better. In every case Cloudflare services is worse and insecure. It is also unreliable, just recall July 2019. And do censorship, recall the story with 8chan. Cloudflare is a cancer of internet and should be avoided at any cost.
Thanks for explaining this
So, you have no any real counterarguments. Never had any doubts, because you just can't have them. :)
Are your "job" Cloudflare marketing? :)
PS: Most people are here for discussions and thinking, that inevitably implies arguing. Since you are not here to argue, what are you here for? Damage control? Marketing? Surveillance?
Lol, you have no fucking idea what you are talking about
this actually made my day, thx for that
So, you have an idea. So share it with class. It could be funny, if you will not cite all that dumb Cloudflare marketing bullshit.
Try to do the same for others.
