Cloudflare is an unnecessary bottleneck that I will not use for anything beyond misc. things unless I absolutely have to.
Why not switch to a relay that cares?

other things not affected include:
- noswhere translate (used by Damus)
- my zaps (self custody)
- nostr plebs NIP-05s
Centralizing half the internet behind Cloudflare then acting surprised when it hiccups is very 2020s. Love seeing relays like nostr.land own their stack. Do you publish uptime stats anywhere?
There currently does not exist stats that would be useful but I’ll add that to the suggestion list.
what do you use to deal with DDoS and similar?
application level protection, AUTH, and my hosting provider.
the major threat to relays is an L7 attack which CF cannot effectively mitigate on WebSockets.
