So based on the issues above , and since I'm going the way of static websites , I will skip cloudflare.
The technical VPN/TOR issues are just a toggle on cloudflare. Not sure what default is though.
But ideologically I guess step away from them based on their monolithic influence. I guess any options for a proper WAF is paying or selfhosting. Neither in my interest . But correct headers and security setting should be enough.
