> Do you know of an example of an attacker "easily demolishing" Cloudflare's free DDoS protection

I can name dozens of websites, that folded under Cloudflare's supposedly flawless DDoS protection (at the time when they were still using it). Of course, the ones who fold are always websites themselves — Cloudflare itself is never affected, because when the DDoS gets particularly bad, they just detach websites from their CDN and expose it to attackers.



...so name them?
