Easily build your own Mini-Cloudflare

This security model was originally designed for websites. However, in the era of mobile internet and the Internet of Things (IoT), most applications still use this security paradigm. This security model has inherent flaws: it always exposes attack surfaces, leading to a passive response to security threats and requiring continuous investment in security operations. Faced with large-scale targeted attacks, it can still cause downtime and increase user latency. Moreover, traditional CDN (Content Delivery Network), DNS (Domain Name System), and endpoint monitoring tools cannot provide enough context about users' home networks, devices, and applications for real-time traffic scheduling.

Such centralized shared network services offer cost-effectiveness and convenience, but they also sacrifice tenant privacy, visibility, and availability. Do you want your threat intelligence to be shared with other tenants? Do you want your traffic and data to be decrypted on external infrastructure? Is it acceptable for your critical business to potentially use contaminated IP addresses? Do you want to see the status of internal services and the actual reasons for failures? Why route local traffic to a cloud PoP, adding latency? Is your business's availability dependent on a single cloud binding or multi-cloud failover? Do you want to have an on-demand network coverage and a customized branded version of Cloudflare?
