What’s the TLDR?



Previously, (technically) it was not allowed to host anything that wasn’t HTML on Cloudflare, even though they have products specifically made for hosting non-HTML stuff (Stream, R2, etc…)

This has now been changed and the rule now only applies to Cloudflare CDN. So, if your content is hosted outside of Cloudflare and is being cached by Cloudflare, that’s banned, but if you’re hosting your content on R2, Stream, etc… then it’s allowed now.


no more "video" or "large file" hosting for free


You already couldn't do that on the self-serve plans (well, you might get away with a little bit of it, but it was a gamble). This change explicitly allows it if you're hosting the video on a CloudFlare service of some sort, other than just the CDN.


Use Cloudflare.


Obey.


MITM-as-a-Service wants to be paid more.
