This was a much needed reminder. Although, it's quite difficult to find a better DDoS mitigator which is better than CF, I still wouldn't trust them for everything. Especially, since they are most likely snooping on the decrypted HTTPS connections

Adding Challenges, TLS fingerprinting and Rate Limiting is possible on just about every major CDN platform to be honest. I guess with CF it's more "ootb" though, where you don't really have to think too much about policies - but at the same time, you can't go as granular in those policies (e.g layered) as some others.
