for me it's usually the tooling that surrounds something, it's just hard to figure out the best way to setup a project (especially in the js ecosystem) and the developer life-cycle of things

My go-to router is https://github.com/berstend/tiny-request-router

It's so simple to use

how good is the ddos protection with cloudfare?

Cloudflare protection is very good.

Perhaps not so much a struggle but a question regarding building a REST API using Workers. It’s very common to receive thousands of requests from a single client in a very short timeframe. How can you prevent Cloudflare from challenging the client with CAPTCHAS in this scenario while still challenging them when you’re building a website using Workers. Is this configurable?

You should be able to use Page Rules to configure

/api/*

with security "essentially off", but leave the rest of your website under normal protections. Is that what you're after?

Also Browser Integrity off, Check the firewall analytics for triggers

Hello everyone good to see that cloudflare finally got a discord server 🙂

Thanks @User and @adaptive! I will test this out soon when I have my first alpha version ready.

i tested it myself on my own website and it's really good at blocking attackers

any way i can get it for personal use not a website?

so to protect a legit router froma DDoS attavk

So protecting non-web network traffic?

yes

protecting a home network

there is https://www.cloudflare.com/magic-transit/ but thats not really for home

Cloudflare Magic Transit and Magic Firewall focus on protecting lower level network protocols and network equipment — but aren't intended for home use

Spectrum as well, might be of interest.

huh, TIL about Spectrum, that's cool

anything else thats meant to protect home networks

None of these are really for home networks.

But it sort of depends on what exactly you're trying to protect.

If you're exposing your home IP to the internet somehow (e.g. hosting a game server), then should be able to use products like Spectrum to protect the host. If you're looking to protect your own devices, there's 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.1 for Families to secure your internet access and protect your devices from malware etc.

pretty sure, if you're hosting a game server, cloudflare can protect that right?

yep, with spectrum

reminded me of this: https://blog.cloudflare.com/ransom-ddos-attacks-target-a-fortune-global-500-company/ recent article from Cloudflare about Magic Transit, was a nice little read

Something to keep in mind with Spectrum is that you're limited to just using SSH/RDP/Minecraft unless you're on the enterprise plan

If in doubt, I'd suggest getting in contact with Cloudflare Sales. They'll be able to chat through your requirements and give the best advice about what Cloudflare can offer. This server is focused just on Workers, so we're not really in a place to offer any detailed information.

yeae i think im getting activly hit off rn
