Does this mean that one will be able to route TCP traffic through Cloudflare? (I would have named it something else.)

They obliviously missed an opportunity to call it "Roxy" and avoid the unfortunate current name collision...

It’s not OSS :( I figured with this type of blog post the finale would be, and everyone can try it out at… Hopefully they do release it OSS eventually.

Flowing water kills people too, so what are your thoughts on network flows as a term?
While it is interesting that they achieved a technical feat, is there any reason for this article to be here? It teaches us nothing apart from the fact that Cloudflare did a thing.
At the simplest level the answer is... someone posted this to HN and other users upvoted it enough for it to reach the front page. We write things up for one main reason: find new employees. We want people to know what sorts of things we work on. So we try to explain them in a lot of detail. A secondary reason is that it's sometimes helpful to learn how someone else solved a problem. Real world examples can be helpfu…

JFC, vomit in my shirt, gross.
What kind of Ayn Randian misery world do you live in? I think a lot of people write things because they think it's interesting & worth discussing & has merit. It doesn't necessarily have to be for self or corporate gain. It's ok if people just want to help other people, want to share? No? Yes? Is it so objectionable that we have a broader human cause, that we want people to do well & know more & understand better? Do we have to reduce everything to the utmost petty corporatistic parasitism?
Or just more broadly: can we not ascribe motive so quickly, with such cocky self-assurity? (Especially to such incredibly vulgar/short ends?) Let's leave some possibility of intent open, yeah, please?

I don’t think he’s slandering Cloudflare. I think he’s captured their intent well. I say this because jgrahamc is the CTO of Cloudflare. He has been for years.

You think the person you’re replying to is slandering Cloudflare by saying they write blog posts primarily to build their brand among potential hires. I don’t think he’s slandering Cloudflare.

Of course, there are all sorts of others reasons such as giving our employees the satisfaction of having their work made public, helping them write better, hopefully making potential customers think we are cool and want to buy stuff, getting feedback from the outside world (I particularluly love the “why didn’t they do X” type comments because sometimes we learn something useful) and so on.

Very very good point & I didn't know that.. But I'm still not sure that actually really matches employee's motivations for writing these things.

For a company that got so much out of NGINX for years this is disappointing.
And NGINX is written in C and we really wanted to use less memory-unsafe languages after Cloudbleed.
