Pretty insane, they're like the Batman of the internet! I'm signing up.
Read the comments bro..
I did, look at the username though. Looks like propaganda to me.
Stophaus is a bunch of morons who must really enjoy sending spam and wasting their lives
CloudFare is a cheat. Most of you will think it does prevent DDoS, but it does, not most of the time. No one can ever prevent or mitigate a fully-saturated Layer 3 DDoS attack. They can only reduce it, not remove it. Although I'm pretty surprised it has posted that it successfully mitigated it. Lies. Why? SpamHaus already reported that their packet was a 60% decrease, and no visual changes have been seen in front of SpamHaus. I'd rather not suggest it for huge companies, but it's fine for small companies/others.
You should read the tickets I have with these guys. Smile I get multi-Gb attacks all the time. I had a huge one about 2 weeks ago from open DNS resolvers as mentioned here:

Some it was even within the datacenter I was at so it was even more amplified given the router proximity and sharing.
I wonder how much traffic cloudflare can actually handle.

My guess is that CF can handle any attack because of it's peering. I read somewhere that CF now has 25% of the worlds internet traffic through it's service.
Wow, 25%? :O I remember when cloud flare was pretty new ^_^
One of these days, Yahoo!, Twitter or Facebook is going to sign up for CloudFlare...
