I guess it's mostly compliance related.

There are companies competing with Cloudflare. For example AWS, but also Akamai. There are some smaller players as well.

Running these Cloudflare services yourself isn't as simple as deploying a 'app' on couple of VPS servers. To run a CDN or services on the Edge near customers, you need to have a very good understanding of internet routing (BGP) and networking in general. If you have that in place, then you can start thinking about building services on your network.

I won’t use a service like this if it’s free. Without a pricing or business plan I’m worried it will shutdown any moment or doesn’t get maintained anymore. Where do I go if I need support? This doesn’t sound like a long term sustainable business.

I’m going to try this because tailscale is extremely slow when you want to fully utilize your bandwidth.

I can highly recommend the books "Why do we get fat and what we can do about it" or "the case against sugar" by Gary Taubes which are related to this.

This is great! Looking forward to test this :)

The labor was added in this calculation with data from the last 3 years. It's a lot less then one might think.
