I self-host only private stuff, so there was never a need for anything like cloudflare.
I am the only user of my network. I don't host any publicly, forward facing services. After reviewing a lot of options, I settled on Cloudflare for the homelab and on the VPS I use Caddy, Tailscale, Crowdsec, and a few other pieces to make me sleep better at night. LOL
