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?

    the only poiny I am arguing for is:

    if somebody is looking for a solution that is effectively equivalent to a proxy, they can enter into the search engine either “vpn” or “proxy” and they will find more results that will work for their usecase that way.

    While you are getting hung up on semantics that I technically agree on, but I find meaningless in the real world usecase of looking for a solution that effectively works like a proxy.
