I mean, I don’t use it for DDOS protection. I use it as a cdn, which is something I absolutely cannot self host. At least not on a budget.

I ask with genuine curiosity, what do you need a CDN for?

I host a GameVault server with a largeish number of games, but the people who use the server span the entirety of the globe. The number of people isn’t huge, but serving a 100GB file to SEA from the US just isn’t going to be a good time for anyone involved.
