Cloud flare alternatives

Hey all,
are there any cloud flare alternatives that allow customized ports?
Comments
Well there's Incapsula, not sure if they allow customized ports though
Not for free, people aren't going to tank/proxy your DDOS for free.
You're best off buying a VPS with protection and either host there or tunnel it to wherever you need.
Francisco
found one i think https://www.cloudns.net/features/
That will not protect you from DDOS attacks, as it is only DDOS Protected DNS hosting

@NickL's SUPER SECURE browser testing sets the same generic cookie for validation. I could have a bunch of robot computers set that cookie and as if by magic, his layer7 protection goes down the drain. @jarland can remove this if talking about Nick's crappy protection isn't allowed.
Securi is the best alternative for cloudflare, but as @Francisco mentioned there's no one will tank your DDoS for free
I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not, but when I clicked on this thread, I got:
Anyway, I'm here now. Forgot what I was going to say.
Is cloudflare down or under ddos? Can't load even jquery from cdnjs
If CloudFlare was down, LET would be down.
Looks like issues in Cairo though, if you're going through that PoP then I suspect you'd see some flakiness. https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/
On the other hand, a layer 7 attack would easily pummel LowEndTalk YET putting code snippets is apparently not allowed
CF = trash
Wut?
I'm thinking of putting a synology diskstation in data centre it has ddos protection in the software...is that good enough?
I didn't see that coming
LOL surprise.... just interested?
Nope, if LET goes down it is usually because people attack the backend IP.
You'll have a hard time taking a site with CloudFlare Business plan down through L7 attacks.
Every time I saw LET down the backend IP wasn't reachable anymore.
Nope not true, The problem with CloudFlare L7 Protection is "it is javascript based"
I talk about CloudFlare business and I don't talk about their ddos protection page.
Maybe Enterprise Plan is a good protection but not the business plan.
And tell me, how hard was it for me to use some resolver website and get the IP?
In fact, here's most of it: 23.94.150.xxx
Anyone, and I mean ANYONE can knock down LET.
You don't need any resolver site, just google lowendtalk, the IP is listening on the LET directory....
Here you have Google alternative to CloudFlare

It seems that it's OK, but due to lack of DNSSEC support I didn't try it yet.
Isn't that only for news/journal websites though?
Gosh, I'm dumb -,- I didn't read whole topic - my bad.
Of course it's like CloudFlare - it's a "rev proxy" and it's not for other ports than http/https.
Interesting, thanks
