DDoS protection is pretty common. There are alternatives to using a steeply discounted private network for the others. I am working on an alternative with pleb.cloud using Tier 1 colocations, with Montreal and Los Angeles first. All to ween off of AWS, which is not even as much of a black box as Cloudflare. I think nostr and the related ecosystem can benefit from putting as much focus on infrastructure architecture as on clients. 🤙
