>> Other methods of filtered traffic delivery are gre VPN tunnels and revers=
e proxy method. The difference between us , prolexic vs cloud flare is the d=
ifferent delivery methods allow protection against attacks towards other ser=
vices and protocols besides http protocol/websites, and protection against e=
ntire networks versus an individual domain, it's just a different business m=
odel going after different market segments.
