Attack of the week: DUHK

I will make the opposite bet to sibling comment and say not too much. It's too easy to just install nginx and let it terminate connections to bother with a hardware device that you have to buy, store, and maintain.

And many sites use CDNs or cloud services for connection termination. Cloudflare and Amazon are surely on top of these things.

This is true of small shops and cloud operations but every enterprise IT shop I’ve seen has a router geek who is convinced you need an appliance to terminate traffic, even if it’s a decelerator in practice.

So we're hoping CloudFlare and Amazon don't have such bugs? (Ignoring the fact that it was already demonstrated at least once that they in fact do...)

People buy those devices for the throughput. Bigger sites are more likely to have them than smaller ones.
