The service doesn't seem to support IPv6 as there are no AAAA DNS records.

  $ dog A AAAA fonts.bunny.net
  CNAME fonts.bunny.net.      10s   "bunnyfonts.b-cdn.net."
    A bunnyfonts.b-cdn.net. 10s   195.181.164.130
  CNAME fonts.bunny.net.       9s   "bunnyfonts.b-cdn.net."
    A bunnyfonts.b-cdn.net.  9s + 195.181.164.130

I'm still not entirely sure why anyone would load fonts from a 3rd party link that's bound to break sometime. Just add it to your assets like a normal person and Cloudflare will cache it for you anyway.

The license is non-standard too, something called SIL. I'm not gonna bother looking up what that weird thing permits when I can get thousands of CC0 fonts from like a dozen sites.

It's the same as Google Fonts (because they're the same fonts). Most of the fonts are released under the terms of the SIL Open Font License 1.1, and a handful of them released under the terms of the Apache License 2.0.

Most free fonts are OFL'd.
