Wonder why this wasn't done earlier. Hopefully we'll see less of the 404-type pages that has plagued this instance.
It costs more money right?
Not necessarily. I have several servers behind Cloudflare for free. I'm just limited on analytics, some advanced firewall settings, advanced cache management and maybe a few other features that I don't use. But the basic service is free.

Nothings free, someone's paying cloudflare something to operate
I imagine this is more of a "If we give people the basic stuff for free when they are small, they are more likely to buy our better stuff when they grow and need to update"
Dont understand this either, who the fck would expose real server IP in first place?
anyone cuz it doesn't matter
This post would not existed if they properly hide their real IP in the first place lol, so yeah it does matter a lot ;)
Actually it does. There's a reason why Cloudflare is a multi-billion dollar company....
Because CDNs lighten load and work as a global cache for load times? Game servers and plenty of other types of servers have exposed their IP since the dawn of time.
Thats not how it works
