Good for you!

Alternatives to Cloudflare DDoS protection:

BitMitigate (one time banned a domain, but bans far less than CloudFlare)
Digital ocean
Imperva Incapsula
Dynu Dynamic DNS
ClouDNS.net
Neustar SiteProtect
JavaPipe
ArvanCloud
CloudLayar

Cloudflare censor bans sites with no warning, (23 hours sometimes).

Cloudflare also demands no private jevascript cryptography of payloads, and all traffic must be in clear and use an evil CLOUDFLARE SSL KEY on your behalf!!

Its true! NOt one actual private person to person message was ever sent on voat.co in history, because voat.co used Cloudflare and thus, ceded all actual true https ability and cloudflare stores and copies all traffic for feds, as Cloudflare often revealed.
