Cloudflare isn't just a security hole in the middle of the internet, they're a protection racket.

If you wanted to pay to DDoS a site, search for "booter" and you'll get a list of sites that will take another site off the internet for money with a flood of traffic.

quezstresser.com webstresser.co topbooter.co instabooter.com booter.xyz critical-boot.com top10booters.com betabooter.com databooter.com

etc. etc. - from the first 30 results I could find 2 booter sites that weren't hosted by Cloudflare.

But hey, pay Cloudflare and your site too can be safe from DDoS attacks...
