Why are people obsessed with implanting CloudFlare right in the middle of everything they do? There is absolutely nobody that needs DDoS for their SSH server.
I get that CloudFlare has been a well behaved netizen so far, but let's be real, it won't last forever. It never does. Eventually the shareholders start turning the screws and CloudFlare is going to succumb to the same pressures every company does and they're going to start extracting advertising value from their "customers".
How about we save the CDNs for the serious stuff and just run our SSH servers and low traffic HTTP sites ourselves?
