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.

    the most recent Cloudflare drama.

    It was made up by a shitty illegal crypto casino:

    They’ve been known to fuck customers before but I can’t really find specific examples.

    Of course you can’t find specific examples because they are known to be great with customers.

      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.
