  @SayantikaSays Try @BSNLCorporate . And I am not joking. It is best if it's available in your area. No BS service. I never heard these lines from BSNL, which I kept hearing from other providers like Jio and Airtel. "We won't give you the router password" "You can't use your own router, even if ours is ******. What do you mean you have a better router and modem? Hou must pay us a subscription for this mesh thing instead" "No, you can't use Google or CloudFlare's DNS, you must use ours. What if it's slow? If you change, how will we snoop on you and inject our advertisements into your browser?" "No, you can't open a port for you. For that, you must buy a static IP from us. Why is a static IP needed to open a port? Who knows. But we won't allow it unless you pay us extra" In the last 3 years, I have only had 2 outages on BSNL, 30-40 minutes max. While on Airtel, I had caught their staff removing my cable from their box and adding a new one for a new connection, and then making me wait till they finally got a new box after a week. They just didn't want to make a new customer wait, so they simply assigned my slot to them. And their customer care and local staff wasn't even ready to accept it, unless I showed the CCTV footage and a video of my cable literally being thrown on the side of their box, not even connected, while they were claiming that there's some backend issue.

  I also understand that some of the words on pallets changed. PLEASE NOTE THAT the words were minted onchain, so your words are safe! We shifted the hosting site to Cloudflare after so many api calls (why the site was down for a couple of days) Please bear with us. working hard right now

  @David_mduw Spin it up, yes. Understand what you built, or what you may have built wrong, not so much. The issues for the non-technical user are going to be things like not understanding when they are trying to build on a server-less platform like Cloudflare, when in fact, they are prompting their way into a site that really needs server side processes. The LLM may or may not point this out to the user, but it will continue trying to build it anyway if the user keeps prompting.

  Richard Sever (@cshperspectives) reported 19 minutes ago

  @manuelrivascruz working on solutions to this. the problem as I'm sure you can imagine is like so many sites we are being hammered by LLM bots in addition to all the DDOS attacks, so (again like many others) use services like Cloudflare to ensure human readers maintain access

  🟣 Underrated #TechSEO Tip GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot all respect robots.txt. Block them and your content never appears in AI answers. Worth flagging that Perplexity's compliance has been disputed – Cloudflare found evidence they used undeclared crawlers to bypass robots.txt. I see site owners block these crawlers without realizing they killed an entire traffic channel. Check your robots.txt right now. Look for blanket `Disallow: /` rules targeting AI user agents. You might be invisible in AI search and not even know it.

  @ultrasxiv Fair on bandwidth being a real cost, but the 2GB figure is a long way out. Cheapest DO droplet includes 500GB+ outbound, Hetzner 20TB+. At 600-700GB household use you’re a pound or two over on DO, zero on Hetzner. Stays around the base £4-5 for most, not £300. And “un-bannable” was the precise word, not hyperbole. A commercial VPN is bannable because it’s a named brand with known IPs, a company that can be pressured or blocked. That’s the weakness. Self-hosting removes the target entirely. There’s no technical category called “a VPS used as a VPN.” It’s a rented server running standard encryption (WireGuard, IPsec), the same protocols carrying every bank settlement, ATM link and corporate tunnel on earth. To ban it you’d have to block those protocols (killing Visa, every corporate VPN, all remote work) or blacklist the datacentre IP ranges (AWS, Hetzner, OVH) that host the actual internet: payment gateways, banking backends, Stripe, Cloudflare, gov services. You can’t separate “server someone might tunnel through” from “server running the shop you’re buying from.” The second and third-order effects would cripple e-commerce, open banking and logistics, all riding the same cloud backbone. That’s the sovereignty point. You can ban a brand. You can’t ban the capability of renting a server and encrypting your own traffic, not without taking modern commerce down with it.

  HERMES AGENT JUST TURNED WHATSAPP INTO A REAL AI WORKER But one tiny setup mistake can leave the entire bot completely silent. What Just Dropped: → Official WhatsApp Business Cloud integration → Run Hermes as a private assistant, team bot, or customer support agent → Text one WhatsApp number and get AI replies directly inside the chat Built Like A Proper App: ✓ Secure webhooks and official Meta support ✓ Voice notes, media, read receipts, and typing indicators ✓ Interactive approval buttons when Hermes needs confirmation The Setup: → Run `hermes whatsapp cloud` → Connect your Meta Business account and WhatsApp number → Use Cloudflare Tunnel to expose your local Hermes gateway securely Three Mistakes To Avoid: ✓ Use the 15–17 digit Phone Number ID, not your real phone number ✓ Replace the 24-hour test token with a permanent system-user token ✓ Subscribe to the `messages` webhook field or the bot will never receive anything For a reliable WhatsApp agent, use the official Cloud API path instead of the unofficial personal-account bridge.

  @Hussain_Joe @_ceifa Well, the key is its pretty much managed, just not e2e. Like it's Cloudflare Workers + pipelines + queues -> CH cloud. All managed services! Just the raw volume makes most "pure" managed analytics providers extremely prohibitive -- like prob 10x the cost at least. Of course, there's other options that are really self hosted that are less analytics-focused... or things that rely more on object storage as the source of truth (like R2 SQL, which would actually prob be cheaper) But I've put in maybe 10 hours of necessary maitenance in the last year, occasionally the analyst who uses the system will ping me for questions/advice etc -- but raw infra/system wise, like 0 issues!

  Elie Steinbock ~ getinboxzero.com (@elie2222) reported 39 minutes ago

  Got a Vercel bill down from $4,200/mo to $120/mo. Some notes: - This is a free B2C product that went somewhat viral. - To get cost down I first optimised Vercel itself. Better caching. Move images to Hetzner / Cloudflare / AWS. - I also switched off server rendering. This product didn't need it. Moved everything to SWR. These changes were needed for better caching. - The big drop at the end is because I moved a lot to a Hono server on Hetzner. - I reused an existing Hetzner server so there were no extra costs there. But even if using a new one, the extra cost would have been only another ~$30/mo. - For B2B products it's usually not worth worrying about. This product had 15k+ signups in the last month. If you have thousands of paying customers, you're making 7 figures per year and a few k to Vercel isn't critical. This product was free, so it was painful to be burning dollars on it. - No need to waste money you don't need to, but the peace of mind with Vercel handling any scale, and you having zero DevOps is a major plus. - You can always make the adjustments I did. It's easy with AI. You're not locked in forever. - The switch I made to Hono was a simple one. It doesn't have load balancing. The server should hold up, but for a B2B SaaS I'd invest more time in a stable setup (which would also cost more time and money). - Vercel makes less sense for a B2C app that goes somewhat viral. It's still my go to every time, but need to be ready to move if you do see some real growth. - The product still uses Vercel. But many of GET requests now go to Hono. PS, this isn't for @inboxzero_ai which is prosumer/B2B focused and isn't free (other than 7 day free trial).

  @EddCoates Yeah that sucks... Has been an issue forever, though. Nobody gives a **** about robots.txt... No wonder CDNs like Cloudflare pretty much have over half the internet on their servers by now. See if you can rate-limit every request, or bite the bullet and use a CDN. Godspeed, mate.

  @EddCoates Had the same issue on one of our sites receiving millions of hits from scrapers while getting just a few thousands legit visitors per day. The only way is to be extremely aggressive in your Cloudflare setup.

  @lea7hersm17h FlareSolverr clears the JS challenge. It doesn't fix IP reputation — if your exit is already flagged, Cloudflare just serves another challenge after each solve. Works on clean IPs at low scale. Breaks on shared or abused exits.

  DD: Long term holdings. $NET cloudflare and why it's important in the age of agents ELI5: The world is moving towards agent. Big industries need better cloud bot protection, developers need LLM computing on the edge. Cloudflare provides the most afforadable option for both, even heavy aws users are using cloudflare for these purposes. What is Cloudflare? For the technically challenged or pre-med professionals, Cloudflare is a web infrastructure and security company that acts as a protective, performance-enhancing shield between a website and its visitors by providing services like content delivery networks (CDNs), DDoS mitigation, and secure domain routing. TL;DR: For the simple folks, it's that **** that pops up with the CAPTCHA to make sure you're not a bot. For developers, it's that **** that makes your sites fast and secure from bots. What is Cloudflare's growing revenue? Application Security and Content Delivery Network (CDN). What is a Content Delivery Network? A CDN is basically a network of servers used to store files closer to its users for faster retrieval. Imagine an app creates a backend database storing all its images on AWS based in US-East. A CDN will then copy the most commonly used images in that S3 database and duplicate them across multiple regions (Asia, Europe, US-East). When an app makes a service request, it will make the request to Cloudflare first. Cloudflare then uses its internal logic to determine if the data needed is in a nearby Cloudflare edge server (on the edge) or if it needs to get it from the main database in US-East. This is called storage on the edge. This CDN mechanism is a relic of Web 2.0, but it will become significantly more important in the age of AI. Now, instead of storing images, large AI providers will be storing entire LLM contexts on the edge. So instead of training specialized ML models to do a specific task, app companies can use a general-usage LLM with a stored context for that specific task, and it will be fast, too. This mechanism is called Prefix Caching or Prompt Caching. By doing this, it makes the LLM responses almost instantaneous. So all your consumer apps that use LLMs—like CALai, Duolingo, Grok, etc.—are most likely already using this process. Beyond simply storing data on the edge, the industry is shifting toward deploying entire servers and specialized AI models locally. A major component of this architecture relies on LLM routing. Instead of hosting massive, resource-heavy models on every single edge device or regional server, companies are deploying highly optimized, lightweight router models at the edge. These local routers analyze incoming user prompts to determine the most efficient way to handle them. If a task is simple, the edge model processes it instantly to minimize latency and eliminate cloud compute costs. If the task requires deep reasoning or a massive knowledge base, the router intelligently forwards the request to a larger cloud-hosted model. Additionally, these edge routers leverage tool calling, which allows them to execute local APIs, query regional databases, or trigger specific code workflows without needing to round-trip back to a centralized data center. Moving from simple edge storage to localized edge intelligent compute represents a massive paradigm shift. It allows enterprises to scale AI applications efficiently, safeguard data privacy, and drastically slash infrastructure costs. Cloudflare Security in the Age of Agents This one is simple. You know that Cloudflare CAPTCHA that pops up when you're entering a website or checking out with a credit card? Websites PAY for that CAPTCHA. And they pay a lot. These features block spam, bots, and DDoS attacks. When you move your mouse to click the CAPTCHA, Cloudflare uses proprietary logic that determines you're human by calculating how fast your mouse moved, the angle you moved it, how long you waited, and any other actions you took. Sometime in the 2010s, every website figured out that paying for this small puzzle CAPTCHA was more cost-effective than getting DDoS'd by bots, so almost every single site adopted it. The CAPTCHA is only one of Cloudflare's products in its security suite to block bots from websites, but the overarching theme is the same for all its features: blocking bots. Well, it's 2026 now, and web traffic across the board has increased, mostly driven by AI and AI agents. Automated web traffic has increased by 600% in 2026 alone. Guess who is positioned perfectly for this? Cloudflare. Not only is Cloudflare blocking bot traffic, but it's also getting paid by them. Cloudflare is releasing a new product (Pay Per Crawl) that allows website owners and Cloudflare to get paid for LLMs crawling their content. Cloudflare is simply winning by creating the gates for web traffic and now charging a toll fee for bots to use them. Cloudflare is direct play on internet traffic, which is a correlating play on ai agents and LLM adoption and usage. If you think people will continue to use ai agents and LLM, then cloudflare is your guy. Cloudflare valuation has dropped recently because of the layoffs due to ai, even though revenue has sped up. This drop was more of emotional sell off than a fundamental one. It's valuation has already bounced back. (Cloudflare is trading at 235 as of this post, I bought in earlier in the 190s for a swing trade after the bogus layoff dips, wish i bought in more)
