CloudFlare Anyone?

Is anybody here using https://www.cloudflare.com ? It is working almost the same as MaxCDN I believed. And it is free, I was going to sign up for it, but don't know much about it yet. Take a look...

I used it some time back. Its Anti-Spam feature end up blocking a lot of legitimate traffic to our forum, So switched to maxcdn.

I signed up for MaxCDN, but I followed the steps tested the images worked, but when enable it, the site are all missing images and css. How did you set it up?

Please check How-To Set up your CDN

More than happy to answer any questions about CloudFlare. You can also use other CDN services, including MaxCDN, with CloudFlare (you would just want to make sure you have the CNAME entry for MaxCDN in your DNS settings).

This sounds interesting. I am already using MaxCDN and am interesting in using CloudFlare for a month to see how it goes with it.

Sadly tho, http://www.cloudflare.com Is Down -> Check if your website is up or down? "It's not just you! http://www.cloudflare.com looks down from here. "

Hopefully the site will be back up soon, but that is not a good first impression.

I'm current using both MaxCDN and Cloudflare, because MaxCDN doesn't catch all the images that I wanted. Half of the images on my site are on Cloudflare!

The rev 'shre' model of cloudflare is quite deceiving. If you're using a re-writer service like skimlinks or viglink or driving revenue, etc, you should read the fine print.

specifically, 7.3

since DR/SL/etc act on an a JS event, not the source, the anchor will likely be modified even though DR/SL/etc will parse it onclick.

Cloudflare Rocks! My site loads in half the time as it used to and it's faster than MaxCDN on my system.

YMMV

After further review, This worked great on my smaller forum but on my busy one people complained about alot of stuff missing on the editor bar and such..

Tried MAXCDN for a day, decided I didn't want it, submitted a request for refund 08/26 it is now September 4 and they have yet to refund my money but keep promising it is on the way.
Was going to go back with them when I was ready to use this kind of service but if they can't even honor a "No Questions Asked" money back guarantee that they advertise on their website, how can I trust them ?

Just a side note, after filing a PayPal dispute, MAXCDN refunded my money. 09/04/11 @ 9pm

I disabled it and purged the cache but people were complaing about the icons below on the quick reply disappearing randomly.

Please keep in mind this weekend was a Holiday weekend (including monday) in the USA for "Labor Day" so delays may have been due to the holiday.

Sounds like an issue with using relative paths, a known vb bug for sometime now, and still no fix in site.
