    On my setup crowdsec has been more effective than cloudflare at stopping scanners and bots from overloading things

    Cloudflare is in the business of keeping infrastructure up and working. Any security benefits of CF are secondary.

        Sure, but that WAF solution is not for us, it’s aimed at clients who can measure their web presence in millions of requests per second.

        Cloudflare is a CDN first and foremost, their success competing with Fastly and Akamai has been good to them, but they don’t care if you get pwned unless you have a ton of money.
