I’m using CloudFlare to hide my home IP and to reduce traffic from clankers. However, I’m using the free tier, so how am I the product? What am I sacrificing? Is there another way to do the above without selling my digital soul?

I used to use HAProxy but switched to Nginx so I could add the modsecurity module and run WAF services. I still use HAProxy for some things, though.
Oh I forgot to say: I have crowdsec on the VPS in front of frp and traefik on the server at my home, where I add all the modules I want.
frp just pipes all the packets through transparently.
But yeah, same thing, should work the same and there are dozens of ways to set that all up.
I’ve been looking into crowdsec for ages now and still haven’t gotten around to even a test deployment. One of these days, lol, and I’ll get around to it.
It’s pretty neat and I feel like there is a clear value exchange for both parties in the free tier, so less shady than cloudflare.
Don’t see an issue yet even though they are crowdsourcing their list generation. At least they are giving you something for it or you can take it. But if you do you get smaller lists.
