for what? cdn? bunny. dns? cloudns
Cloudflare is so many things bundled together, which feature are you talking about exactly
Prophaze.com
Bunny.net (more like a CDN)
Fastly.com
Skip2.net
Stackpath.com
If you mean a free CDN alternative similar to cloudflare, there's unfortunately none afaik.
If you want cdn - https://cloudinary.com/
There are many other alternatives beside Cloudflare but Cloudflare is just perfect as all in one solution 😅
Depends what exactly you want to replace and for what reason but some are
bunny.net for affordable cdn, use volume network for cheapest price.
also bunny.net for workers / edge scripting, deno deploy is another good candidate and has KV store.
any S3-compatible provider for R2 alternative, many to choose from.
tailscale for zero trust
cloudns or bunny again for dns
There is no cloudflare alternative, which could offer same functionality and be free.
Spend $5000 on servers this Christmas. Then get busy.
What feature are you after?
Cloudflare is many things... CDN, DNS, ZeroTrust, email server, etc...
Also, what's wrong with Cloudflare itself?
Bunny for dns too
+1 bunnycdn
I use ns1 for DNS
imo there's no such alternative for zerotrust, it's so special and nice
Stackpath is dead since a while now.
We are using these Cloudflare features:
The top five are easily replaceable.
The bottom two are not so replaceable.
We are particularly interested to know what other CDN providers support inbound connections, where the origin server runs a daemon to connect to the platform, but otherwise has no open ports on the firewall.
I don't think you'll find another provider that provides a free CDN for their reverse proxy.
NordVPN provides Meshnet for free, but there's no CDN and it's very slow. Are you on a free plan? If so, the CDN likely isn't doing _that _ much
Not aware of any other providers who provide a free reliable reverse proxy
Curious as to why the move btw? I've had no issues with Cloudflare thus far
Server side script it depends what you're running, many paid services available. They also have reverse proxies (Azure w/ Application Gateway for example, they have edge server side scripting available)
GCloud has static sites very cheaply if that fits your needs, very hard to recommend anything without knowing use case. It runs code at the edge and serves data based on results. Can pull from databases, etc etc.
Alternatively you could go full managed cloud but it depends on your use case. AWS, Azure or GCloud all have amazing (paid) services for this.
Gotta prepare for Cloudflare deadpool someday.
We ain't @Otus9051 so it doesn't have to be free; paying by traffic is OK.
Just wanna know which CDN providers support inbound connections, where the origin server runs a daemon to connect to the platform but otherwise has no open ports on the firewall.
Bunny.net covers everything important and it's more responsive than cloudflare (for me, for Europe)
If your income is not negative, you should be able to afford it
Cloudflare.net however covers everything + globally, there is no all-in-one replacement to Cloudflare, not in 2024
Because "fuck monopolies!" as well as because "what you'll do if Cloudf&%#! ever failed?"
hello @yoursunny I have same question, but I want to use as ipv6 to ipv4 proxy like cloudflare do. if any one know please tell.
Bunny doesn't support IPv6-only origin server 👎 so it's a hard no.
Hi,
If you are interested in Free DNS, you can use our DNS for such things.
We allow freedom of speech, privacy and many more!
Take a look in our Free DNS service:

Changed from CF Free to bunny.net, increased speed for my website + don´t need to rely on amuricans and no cookies.
I asked more like a Proxy, to hide the real IP address of the server.
Akamai for their enterprise plan. They are ready to pay or they will stay with cloudflare for this time being?
@justaguy and Altrosky
Hi, we're working on building our own WAF/Cloudflare alternative. You can try it out, maybe it suits your needs. https://dutchis.net/web-application-firewall
Do you support inbound connection from the origin server, similar to cloudflared?
This could be done with VPN and/or traefik or haproxy or caddy and configs can be integrated into web ui. Then just define what services are allowed and what traffic you forward and to what ports and route them accordingly. keep track of the routes based on account.
No, not at this time. It is a nice feature, maybe something for next year
