Yes, on one hand, it was so wonderful. Cloudflare came and said, "Yeah, now we'll save everyone from DDoS, everything's perfect, we'll speed up your site," and bam, they became a bottleneck for the entire internet. It's some kind of nightmare. Why didn't several other such popular startups appear, into which more money was invested, and which would allow some failure points to be created? I don't understand this. Or at least Cloudflare itself should have had some backup mechanism, so that in case of failures, something still works, even slowly, or at least they could redirect traffic directly, bypassing their proxies. They just didn't do that at all. Something is definitely wrong.

Probably some more I forgot now. CF is not the only option and definitely not the best option.
