I recently stumbled across Cludflares trustpilot page and the reviews were completely mismatched from the way I have experienced people talk about them on forums. The reviews on trustpilot make them sound awful, but I have only seen recommendations for them on forums, often people say they are the best DNS provider.

Whats up with that? Does anyone know why there is such a disparity.

    shitty illegal crypto

    Opinions. Irrelevant. What is and isn’t “shitty” is a matter of opinion. Obviously fuck casinos and crypto scams but it ain’t relevant.

    The explanation you linked on the other hand is valid. I think it’s a little ridiculous though that Cloudflare can’t do any sort of geo-restriction instead. Just about everything is illegal somewhere.

    Of course you can’t find examples because

    I can’t be arsed.

      That’s not their job, it’s the job of the site operator.

      It’s a free-tier service ffs. Who runs a company on a free-tier?

      It’s super relevant in this case since they were shutdown for abusing the system and given warning that they decided to ignore while looking for a new provider.
