I’m using CloudFlare to hide my home IP and to reduce traffic from clankers. However, I’m using the free tier, so how am I the product? What am I sacrificing? Is there another way to do the above without selling my digital soul?

    I’ve run a publicly accessible low-legitimate-traffic website that has been indexed by Google and others from my home network for >20 years without anything buckling so far. I don’t even have a great connection (30mbps upstream).

    Maybe I’m just lucky?
