So how much bandwidth were you using, and what proportion of it was images? Like, is it a obviously cut and dry case or is there actually some ambiguity?

(There's some very good reasons to leave terms a bit vague rather than specified exactly, but then you probably wouldn't expect enforcement in cases that are ambiguous.)

These are the nightmare stories for me. So much of the internet depends on these worldwide CDNs that people are bullied into using by DDoS attackers, which, in turn, allows these companies to have a chokehold.

Cloudflare is a "global network built for the cloud" that.... doesn't allow images? Really?

They have partnerships with Backblaze and Wasabi, object storage providers, but wont allow images to be served over their CDN? Really?

They have their own object storage solu--- ohhhhhhh

There are better CDNs for image proxies, Stackpath is way nicer than Cloudflare for image hosting and cheap. Plus you don’t have to let them MitM your pages and endpoints.

Tough to beat r2's pricing at $0.015/GB-month for storage and no bandwidth fees. https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/platform/pricing/

Break the terms of service, get mad and write a blog post. It's not even hidden in some legalese; they tell you not to serve majority image/video content _everywhere_ in the UI.

All my tunnels are still running great, for free. I could not be happier.
