Can you use cloudflare or any other free CDN with nodebb?
-
If you want some scalable DDOS mitigation, and CDN style caching you could implement Squid servers on EC2 that are set to auto scale when the traffic gets heavy.....
however this solution is not free....
As far as CloudFlare goes, I have had issues in the past (not just with nodeBB, but other services) where they have returned 500 errors, because their infrastructure went down...
All depends on what you are looking for, I will note that linode does have pretty good DNS management.

We have a number of users that are reporting issues that I think are related to caching with websockets. We use CloudFlare for all of our sites except for our NodeBB setup. End user networks with Untangle seem to have the websockets issue, at least that is my guess. It is my guess that Untangle is caching and killing websockets.

@datz CloudFlare is completely free if you only use it for DNS hosting.
Also free for basic CDN. Only the advanced features require payment.
Unfortunately, you need to pay for SSL (you need to upgrade) if you want to use their CDN...

As for fronting your entire forum with a CDN, I'm not sure, but as for images and other assets, you could write a plugin to generate the correct image urls based on CDN configuration (such that the image urls fetched are CDN-enabled, but the urls stored are standard)

Bump
I'm using cloudflare with dns enabled, seems to be working fine for me. Can everyone connect to esportsdig.com okay?
-
Nice theme you got there
-
I'm not sure about that, but I'm testing with Fastly.com CDN on my forum and it almost work. Need more time to feedback
Edited: Fastly not compatible with NodeBB, login suddenly invisible after some minute

@ronalbarbaren fastlys pricing structure is a joke.
If your site uses 10GB of traffic over 10 million requests, the charge per Fastly's pricing page would be $8.70. Because this amount falls below the $50 monthly minimum, we would charge you $50 for that month.
Whole lot of nope...

As of August 5, 2014, CloudFlare supports WebSockets for Enterprise customers only. (Announcement)
WebSockets are currently only available for Enterprise customers, but will be available for other plan levels in the future.
All other customers -- Business, Pro, and Free -- should create a subdomain for Websockets in their CloudFlare DNS and disable the CloudFlare proxy ("grey cloud" the record in CloudFlare DNS Settings).
