It's been a while since I've heard anything about this but didn't they change their ToS in regards to media on their network? I thought I read something about that clause getting removed at some point a few months back.
I believe media hosting is only against their ToS if you try and use the proxy service. In the DNS page you would want to make sure the clouds are not orange. Fair warning though now your IP is exposed to the public.
I use their tunnels in conjunction with internal split horizon DNS so I don't have to forward any ports and can access things locally faster so I'm probably breaking this rule but I haven't gotten any emails or letters about it yet. Crossing my fingers they don't care lol
Maybe. Personally it's just another huge corpo that's reading my traffic. There's a dozen other middle men, but no doubt cloudflare wouldn't hesitate to release all of my traffic at a moment's notice.
That's a fair point, I self host stuff more out of convenience over privacy (although that's still a factor) so I guess I just care less about them watching my traffic I suppose. CF is just so easy with their Argo Tunnels and domain registrar service.
