Hi, I know CF doesn't have any bandwidth limits on the free plan. But I was wondering if I should upgrade from Free to Pro as I have customers complaining there about slow bandwidth throughput. Is there a chance that the upgrade routes the traffic "better" or the traffic is being "prioritized" during rush hours if I upgrade to Pro?

I know network latency / routing / bandwidth problems are hard to troubleshoot. So I'd be happy if someone with some background knwoledge could give me an "educated guess" if the plan adjustment has any influence of Cloudflare network performance

if your free site is slow, you are sure it isn't your origin server and especially if you have users in locations with more expensive bandwidth (asia, africa, south america) then trying out pro isn't the worst decision you could make.
If you're fine paying for bandwidth you can also try argo smart routing which is expensive but very useful for this kind of optimisation

Anyone with Solana gateway for sale?

Thanks, that was helpful!

Hello! My websites and overall services are partially blocked or with degraded performance here in spain due to ISPs aplying blockings to prevent football piracy (they block completely or partially Cloudflare's IP).

If I switch to Cloudflare Pro plan, I'm going to get a different IP address?

andrew_nyr•2/22/25, 8:36 PM

Each plan can use different IP addresses but it is not definite that it will not also be used by the same services. I would reach out to the ISP and talk to them.

Vinicius•2/22/25, 10:17 PM

I deleted all the pools and now I can't create new ones, this message is showing saying that I used them all

Vinicius•2/22/25, 10:33 PM

Can anyone help me?

The ISP is not going to solve anything unfortunately.
They are required to block it by LaLiga

MP?

D5•2/23/25, 10:05 AM

They're all useless. Not going to solve anything

D5•2/23/25, 10:06 AM

Also, it's not a political blocking, but footbal piracy blocking

Down again, football match started. It's unreal

I'm forced to migrate away from Cloudflare temporarily unfortunately

valkyrie_pilot•2/23/25, 6:09 PM

judges, at least in the US, do not hold terms for life- not sure how it works there, but i doubt they do there either

AAnay-208 I've already clicked "having trouble" and reported

What's that browser?

AAnay-208 Zen, A firefox based browser

D5•2/23/25, 6:12 PM

Maybe it's blocking the clouflare challenge. Have you tried with a different browser?

valkyrie_pilot•2/23/25, 6:13 PM

cloudflare pretty much only supports Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari

valkyrie_pilot•2/23/25, 6:13 PM

other browsers get blocked fairly regularly

Vvalkyrie_pilot other browsers get blocked fairly regularly

D5•2/23/25, 6:15 PM

Sometimes browsers like brave have privacy tools that end up breaking cloudflare challenges

AAnay-208 Zen is a firefox based browser.

valkyrie_pilot•2/23/25, 6:15 PM

it isn't firefox though

valkyrie_pilot•2/23/25, 6:16 PM

cloudflare could very well be detecting the differences and saying Nope

I remember when hCaptcha was decent. Now it's probably one of the worst in my experience. Blocked from passing so many times when trying to sign into Discord alone.

D5•2/23/25, 8:56 PM

I agree. Captchas are not very difficult to complete thanks to AI, and I think that AI can solve Captchas faster than humans, so we end up having a system that is easy for machines, and difficult for humans while the goal should be the opposite

valkyrie_pilot•2/23/25, 9:16 PM

which, if your site is worth protecting with a captcha, is going to happen

Dubz•2/24/25, 12:40 AM

That's honestly a poor way of looking at it tbh. Captchas are widely used everywhere to help combat spam, not hacks. Not that users can't do anything nefarious, but it's all a cat and mouse game.

Dubz•2/24/25, 12:44 AM

I say poor way to look at it because it gives similar reasoning to small businesses and non profits not taking their InfoSec seriously because they're not worth going for, which is tge exact reason that makes it worth going for. Easy food. Most malicious attackers don't care where the money comes from, just that they get it. Why chase a $100B company you'll probably never get any inside info in when you can get a few 5-7 figures companies and get you rolling for long term funding to keep getting those same small fishies? Sure, it's not a "big score", but it all adds up.

hm? im saying that it shouldn’t be your only layer of protection, and that not having a captcha shouldn’t allow malicious people to do Bad Things
