Funny thing about cloudflare is that it 'protects' people against ddos attacks that are as common as 'terrorism'.
Tell that to Linode ;)
What's the difference between cloudflare and linode? Both are just a bunch of datacenters and both can be ddosed.
The difference between CloudFlare and Linode is that CloudFlare is a much larger network with much better Internet connectivity and higher bandwidth. So CloudFlare can shrug off attacks that bring Linode to its knees. Google and AWS are similarly resourceful. And they cost a lot more than Linode does. Digital Ocean is probably just as vulnerable as Linode, but for some reason hasn't attracted as much attention.
Or is the reasoning here that the whole 'decentralized' (haha) internet should be turned into a handful of organizations that control all the traffic, to save the children from ddos attacks?
It's rather like sheep, wolves and shepherds, I guess :)
Ddos attacks are exactly like terrorism. Carried by the same people...at the Department of False Flags.
It muct be nice to have such simple answers to everything ;)
