Both your ISP and CF will drop you like a hot potato if you're ever under that kind of attack.
CF has other features that are nice like, like WAF, bot detection, geo blocking, caching etc. But it's only a taste.
All their real services are paid and the whole reason they offer a free tier is to upsell you to their paid services.

@lemmyvore @f2sfljLhdtTZ cloud flare doesn't drop you in that situation, I've been using them for years and seen them quietly and contently mitigate attacks for my clients
