It is only a matter of time until Cloudflare and Co. buckle to the far-left (as they will eventually get violent), so TD and Gab should prepare and start building their own DDoS protection.
Anycast is not at all tricky, it can just get expensive as you really want your own AS number and would need your own address block. Used to be that anything less than a /19 was rejected by the backbone carriers and I highly doubt /19s are easy to get these days, especially for non-service providers.
I highly doubt T_D is taking any real advantage of anycast, scripts and other static things like images on their own CND URLS sure, but the main site is server created.
DDOS protection doesn't use Anycast anyway, it's a TCP reverse proxy, Cloudflare's meaty servers on huge pipes validate incoming connection attempts, they throw away the invalid sessions and pass the valid ones on to T_D servers.
For the larger DDoS attacks you'd struggle without Anycast as your ISP links could flood if you can't segregate the traffic out. For basic ones it's pretty easy dependent on the level.
Expensive and tricky is much the same unless the donations flood in. Granted it's much easier to work with a site like TD than Gab given how much dynamic content is on Gab.
They're being allowed to be violent for a purpose. Not only allowed, but financed by the left which moves them around as desired to achieve their terroristic needs.
If they haven't entertained the idea yet (and blocking them is a very clear "no, fuck you" sign), I see it not happening at least on ideological grounds. And unless we give them legal reasons to stop the service, I think we will be fine for the time being.
Thing is, it isn’t cloud fare’s duty to police content of sites. They’re not endorsing it. They’re just providing a service. As long as Gab or TDW or whoever pays, it’s none of their business.
This is just more leftist activism to prevent us from being able to talk to each other.
As a self-described "free speech absolutist", Cloudflare's CEO Matthew Prince, in a blog post, vowed never to succumb to external pressure again and sought to create a "political umbrella" for the future.

For the mods, an alternative is https://vanwa.tech/website-cdn if Cloudflare has to succumb. u/doggos

You need many hosts scattered around using Anycast. It gets tricky but it's doable.

Wasn't IPv6 going to make address blocks easily available? Has anything happened with that in the last 10 years? (In case you happen to know).
That's when we were running out of address space. I think they've eased up now.
Bizarre that we have a faction in this country that can just...get violent when it suits them, and no one can do anything about it.

Communists are already harrassing Cloudflare on twitter.
It will happen sooner than later.
yes, but blocking the Sleeping Giant is kind of indicative.
Yep. They’ll cave eventually.

and then he fucked 8chan.
This quote was about 8 chan and some stormer site.
Hosting in Cuck-central WA seems like a bad idea....
Cloudflare is not a hosting company.
I know thats my point.
Ya lost me, fren. What is your point?
Vanwatech has servers in Russia and will deplatform sites that offend the Russian government.
