I was going to finally configure the SSL for my domain/app, however I was 
really demotivated because the process is, in my opinion, really 
complicated, however this shouldn't affect the final decision
I also decided to switch to DynDNS from standard godaddy dns

Both processes are complicated in my opinion, yet for the end result, they 
might be better then CloudFlare

The reason I'm avoiding CloudFlare is false positives, I used to be 
identified as an attacker occasionally (while I wasn't), didn't happen in 
almost a year, but there was a time it happened a lot, If I'm seeing it, 
probably everyone experienced it once or twice, it would be devastating if 
an actual user experienced it
The second reason is old AppEngine incompatibility, however I haven't seen 
any complaints here in months, so that seems to be fixed too

I always build for really high traffic, whether that will be the case or 
not, I'm always "all in" in terms of premature optimization
I've also built a custom IP based security system, blocks access to 
functionality if recent actions/visits are over a limit, I'm a bit 
concerned whether this system will cause problems in real life, I'm not 
sure whether there are scenarios, where a high-number of people share the 
same IP address and use a service/app

I'm also not sure whether CloudFlare can block the hobbyist robot runners, 
I personally used to do it myself, built greasemonkey/chrome scripts to 
continually execute routines on a service, my IP solution would prevent it, 
would CloudFlare prevent it?
Maybe they can be used together, I don't remember exactly, but I guess CF 
was sending over the user-IP in headers too

Anyway, I would love to hear any experiences in this area
