Cloudflare speeds up and protects millions of websites, APIs, SaaS services, and other properties connected to the Internet.
This product is easy to use and provides great visual cues for what traffic is going to and from your computer. If you need to know what is happening, this tool is great for that.
This is really a "missing" issue with Glasswire; no Linux support.
Ability to block software from connecting to the internet is very nice. The notifications you get each time a software has a new version number and is trying to connect to the internet is wonderful.
After checking it for a few days in the most of the cases you wont use it again until you have any problem. Another program you dont need that is slowing down your pc.
I like how the full functionality is within the tabs on the top of the screen, very easy and useful interface.
There are only Two "Cons" that I see, that is that there is no Client [at the time of writing this] for MAC and my second is that I cannot use remote server manager from mobile client.
GlassWire is a very useful firewall software which I found by accidentally. It was very good useful software more than I thought.
Can't think of anything i don't like except upgrade nag notifications.
I like that the website’s performance is improved with reguards to the speed with Cloudflare’s CND. The speed of the websiteis increased with the optimizating feature like Brotli compression for SSL.
Cloudflare was slowing down my websites, causing conflicts and the typical "Error 502 - Bad gateway" error. When I stopped using Cloudflare, I never had this issue anymore.
Cloudflare provides our websites for CDN, DDOS security and SSL for free. Its very helpful for our websites reach globally with good speed and secure.
Setting up DNS servers can be difficult and backtracking from a mistake can be very time-consuming unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Overall experience with cloudflare is amazing because it provides so much useful things in their both free & paid membership.
My last, very frustrating experience has ruined the positive experience of previous years. I had to move the site back to the original hosting losing a significant amount of time.
Great set of tools from a reliable and world leading company, with a great community and a full range of documentation.
Also every now and then my site looks odd. I clear the cache on site and browser and it still looks odd.
Karambir: Hi, my name's Karambir. I'm the CEO of a small company. It's just me actually, and I give CloudFlare a four. I found out about CloudFlare. I don't remember exactly how, but it was either through email or internet search, just about this product that was helpful for managing websites, and handling caching, and 24/7 availability, that kind of thing. I chose CloudFlare because it was free. At the time it seemed to be the only product. It was something I could easily create an account for, and it met the basic needs of a small website, which is just making sure it's available all the time, and reasonably good caching and throughput. It was fairly easy to get started with. CloudFlare, you have to switch over your DNA name servers, so it requires some technical experience, but otherwise, it was fairly easy to get set up. Okay, so if you're considering getting CloudFlare, consider it's really designed for higher end websites, with a lot of users, maybe multiple servers spread around the globe. For a smaller organization or just like a one-off website, it may be more complex than you really need. So it depends on the size of your organization, how much traffic, how much web traffic you have.
