Cloudflare only vs a DMCA-ignore reverse proxy
Cloudflare is excellent at the public edge and DDoS absorption. Many DMCA Ignored Hosting and Offshore Hosting operators still want a controllable nginx reverse-proxy hop behind it. ShieldProxy is that control plane—your Cloudflare account, automated Origin CA, private origin.
Cloudflare alone
Hides the origin when DNS and firewalls are perfect and nothing else has ever published the real IP.
You still own every detail of any extra reverse-proxy layer you add yourself: certificates, site files, and cleanup.
Cloudflare with ShieldProxy
Same Cloudflare account—you connect it; there is no shared platform Cloudflare login.
The panel drives the shield hop: public DNS toward the reverse proxy, Origin CA where needed, and site lifecycle for each domain.
Plans cover both “your VPS” and “managed shield capacity.”
