I don't get it. Cloudflare proudly advertises unmetered DDoS protection on any plan level. Is that just a lie, or what am I missing here? They don't need to be on a custom Enterprise plan.

They are only doing unmetered DDoS for HTTP traffic - for websites. File storage etc. is not allowed. And git falls into that realm.

To expand on that, Cloudflare's standard product is their HTTP reverse proxy. To proxy arbitrary TCP/UDP traffic, you need to use their Cloudflare Spectrum service (https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/application-services/produc...), which is metered.

I think they might be looking in something more similar to Magic Transit, but that depends on how they set up their infrastructure.

Looks like level 3 ddos protection is only available on the enterprise plan, it's not included in the unmetered ddos protection.

Unlimited free is almost always a lie.
