Unlimited free is almost always a lie.



See also "unlimited paid time off".


But in this case it literally is? Cloudflare provides unlimited HTTP traffic on all plans, exactly what they claim. Sourcehut needs a different service.


HTTP(S)-only _is_ the limit.


Yeah, because protecting other protocols would require a totally different approach and product. This isn't a conspiracy.

The Cloudflare HTTP CDN cannot protect SSH any more than a condom will make a good umbrella just because they both are designed for protection!


There is no chance of unlimited http even - otherwise startups would free ride that for their video sites etc


every / Netflix / porn site etc would use the unlimited free http traffic service if they could. I’d start a YouTube competitor. At some point if you use a lot of bandwidth you will get a call. So unlimited http traffic is a lie. Heck - my guess if you dumped a few petabytes into New Zealand or similar with high term costs you’d get a call
