Cloudflare is the world's largest man-in-the-middle proxy. Technically it is called "[reverse proxy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy)".

This means that it sits between you and the server which sent you webpages and images.

Cloudflare is a [content delivery network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network), which means that it has different

"[Project Honey Pot](https://www.projecthoneypot.org/)" is a project which collects a lot of personal data

and much of that data is from innocent people who deserve privacy.

Cloudflare was created by people who worked on that project. US DHS showed interest to this project.

Did you know that you can lose visitors because your site [doesn't load in a few seconds](https://www.hostingmanual.net/3-seconds-how-website-speed-impacts-visitors-sales/)?
|

Cloudflare often makes visitors wait for more than few seconds.
|

Many visitors will just leave your site when they see this.
|

|

|

No one wants to click multiple images just to read your website.

## Self-hosting

more aimed at technical people.

Self-hosting often works great, but it requires some effort to setup.

It is more aimed at technical people.
|
||||
|
||||
We might create a guide for some self-hosting basics which don't require Cloudflare.
|
||||
[IPFS](https://ipfs.io/) may be worth consideration if performance is the main concern.
|
||||
|
||||
`Apache` is vulnerable to various low-bandwidth attacks. Use other server software such as [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/), [lighttpd](https://www.lighttpd.net/) or [nginx](https://nginx.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Best way to protect your server from DDoS
|
||||
- Avoid any third-party service that _can intercept_ HTTP traffic (like Cloudflare)
|
||||
- Install WAF on your loadbalancer.
|
||||
- Even simple [ModSecurity](https://www.modsecurity.org/) can save you.
|
||||
- Add rate-limit to your nftable(firewall) and server software.
|
||||
- Just drop the excessive connection.
