I got some more information about CloudFlare from a well respected Web administrator that I know. CloudFlare, despite the recent issue, is highly regarded for it’s work in blocking and protecting against many different Web bots. That’s why there was such a big disruption when it didn’t work properly; a LOT of places do use it and continue to use it. Even they are not perfect, but I’m sure they are working hard to make their solution more resistant to the recent issue they faced; meanwhile they still have a very good reputation as a protector of Internet network services.
