    • People buy njalla domain.
    • Start to do illegal stuff on domain.
    • Njalla gets legal complaint.
    • Since njalla doesnt know your personal info, all they can do is shut down the domain
    • People cry that they were “scammed” by njalla for “no reason”
    • Sometimes in these kind of posts, when you pry long enough they admit to doing something illegal (which they think is fine, like pirated media sharing).

    I have my personal website domain and some selfhosted stuff on subdomains on a njalla for over 5 years. Never had any issues cause none of what I do is illegal.












  • They can’t stop bots on any of the other sites they regulate either.

    They can and do. What is blocked depends on what the website owner sets as settings in cloudflare.

    Bots intentionally change up their behavior and identifying information as to be undetected.

    If they have to crawl the web while behaving like a normal human, it will be magnitudes slower and more costly.


    1. they can already block VPN traffic (unless you use their VPN)

    2. their whole business model is based on them being a man in the middle that decrypts ssl and analyses the packets plainly

    3. about a third of the worldwide websites are using cloudflare so they have a pretry good birds eye view on behaviour of any machine, datacenter or ip range that will be visiting a lot of websites, which in turn will trivially whether it is normal user behaviour or a crawler.

    On the budget side there is:

    raspberry pi + usb RAID enclosure that can spin down the harddrive (I used icybox in the past)

    Instead of a pi, it is also interesting to look at mini PCs like N97 or N100 which are super cheap nowadays, about the same as a rpi5 if you consider whats included / what addons you’d have to buy for the pi. Mini PC have more RAM, a build in nvme, a way beefier CPU. But their power efficiency is way worse.

    Depends on how much horsepower you need or how energy efficient you want to be.
