What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI have a couple of thoughts on this blog post.
#1. This blog post says that this product is launching in closed beta for "eligible Enterprise customers" only? But I thought cloudflare was moving away from enterprise gated features?
Ref: https://blog.cloudflare.com/enterprise-grade-features-for-all/
#2. Will this feature finally allow me to tunnel my game server traffic through cloudflared to gain ddos protection and other features?
Long ago "Cloudflare Spectrum" launched which is exact that feature but was for some reason priced obscenely and limited to enterprise only. Later "Cloudflare/Argo Tunnel" launched and it seems perfectly positioned to take over CF Spectrum's job but instead was, I think, intentionally limited to not allow tunneling UDP traffic as to not cannibalize Spectrum.
