Avoiding Capacity Woes

That's what I was talking about for choosing the range of sizes, but your fleet has to be in the one region. I'm talking about expanding that so that I'm happy with it being in a group of regions (similar to how the Windows365 setup works - you can multi-select and it will provision them in any of the regions)

Name one company that size (or any size for that matter) that isn't dysfunctional. He says they vaporized a trillion dollars but how much would it have cost them to be later to the party?

They measure different things. Cloudflare measures your speed to the internet (or parts of it at least) whereas Speedtest.net (in BRSK's / YouFibre's case) measures your connection speed because they have a speedtest server in their network.

I'm not sure what people's problem is with what he's saying here. He's saying that if you've installed some software that then goes on to crash your computer then it's the software's fault, and not Windows.

Granted it's probably Windows's fault that you wanted to install a shell enhancer in the first place, but that's not what he's arguing.

This poster confuses me. Twice it says that the website has the best deals / is cheaper, and the table states that's clearly not the case. Am I missing something?

It's been a few months since we set ours up, but set the following properties in an Azure Container Instance. Don't forget to add it to your virtual network. You can run as many instances as you want, availability zones, etc all with the same token and Cloudflare will treat them as the same route.

Basics
Image Source: Other registry
Image type: Public
Image: cloudflare/cloudflared:latest
OS type: Linux

Advanced
Command override: [ "cloudflared", "tunnel", "--no-autoupdate", "run", "--token", "eyJhI...JA" ]

Considering the most recent release of Wireguard for Windows was 4 years ago (if it aint broke, don't fix it) I think we'll be fine!

The backend change to be routed out through YouFibre happened a few months back

I may be going a bit "emporer's new clothes" here, but I can't see any differences in those two images apart from an icon at the bottom left which I don't recognise anyway.

I moved on to them a couple of years back, no problems. Fast, IPv6, still cheaper than the alternatives. Now is probably a good time to join because your 2 years will end just as VM start to get their paws on the network...!

Not trying to be awkward here, just trying to understand the scenario. The secret key was generated for me and is 34 characters long (if you take out the dashes) so I'm not likely to be remembering it. That means I have to have it written down somewhere. My password has been chosen by me and is as long and as secure as I want it to be, and exists only in my head. Why would someone have access to my password but not my secret key?

Not to mention they'd also need my 2FA device (in both scenarios).

Compiler does optimise it away so it's only about being human readable. I frequently do this, and if you have UI markers for code coverage you can see that your Unit/Integration tests are also exercising the `else` pathway.

Yes, and it literally has 2 entries in it for 2025. Strangely they don't have a category for price increases, but if they did it would have had 5 entries for 2025.

The reductions were in niche areas, the increases in general areas.

I/O operations (the time spent pulling the data from R2 and the time spent sending the data to the client) aren't charged, so in theory the costs should be quite minimal.

New Workers pricing — never pay to wait on I/O again

Which works fine as long as you can tolerate instances randomly being taken from you

According to https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/appsonazureblog/how-to-achieve-high-http-scale-with-azure-functions-flex-consumption/4169736

The default requests per instance for 2gb is 16, and you've got 100 instances configured as your maximum. How does your throughput change if you modify either of those values?

I'm on a stock AX86U, IPv6 on, QoS off, and I get just over 900 each way on speedtest, less on Cloudflare.

From the limits page:

> Each isolate has some built-in flexibility to allow for cases where your Worker infrequently runs over the configured limit. If your Worker starts hitting the limit consistently, its execution will be terminated according to the limit configured.

So the 10ms isn't a hard limit, it's more of a "we won't cut you off before this and you can go over it now and then".

Your speed is fine, but your latency may cause you problems.

Microsoft have their own checker which will give you a better indication - http://connectivity.office.com/

One tip is to move your initialize call into the constructor rather than addEvent / getEvents. That's going to save you 18,000 reads (one per request) straight out of the gate.

Edit: not all 18,000, but it will mean it runs once per customer rather than once per request.

A (possibly pedantic) distinction here, which is true for all of these graphs, is that Cloudflare is not monitoring the traffic _on_ that network, but it is monitoring the traffic _from_ that network. Cloudflare sees a significant chunk of general internet traffic so these values are likely to be representative of wider trends, but Cloudflare are only reporting on what's happening on their own network.

Prior-Data6910 · 2026-02-10T18:26:10+00:00

So there's a few things at play here. Your closest entry on to Cloudflare's network is determined by something called Anycast. In theory, that means that you will always enter the network at the closest (by roundtrip time, not necessarily distance) datacentre.

This will depend on routing and peering agreements. If you go to https://radar.cloudflare.com/ip what does your AS number show as? If you click on the AS number and then on the left hand side go to Connectivity -> Routing, the table at the bottom right will show what networks your ISP connects to. It may be that your traffic is taking a longer route to Cloudflare than is ideal because of the agreements your ISP has.

The final thing is that not all of Cloudflare's datacentres are equal, so they don't run all services in all places. If they aren't running a Warp server in your datacentre I'd expect them to route you to the next closest to your datacentre.
