I am heavily using Cloudflare for many of my web services. Now Iโ€™m looking for a European alternative. Iโ€™m not just talking about a CDN, but also all the security focused features. Any ideas?

There are no full alternatives in whole world for cf, unfortunately, but that's just because they reward lazyness. We should identify particular issues and stop placing all eggs in competitors basket.

I haven't done my part yet here.

Fully agree. Which is why I do security the classical way for now. The only thing I cannot do myself is protection against DDoS attacks. But I either use the solution of the hoster or use KeyCDN.

It leads to a bit more configuration overhead, but at least I am able to get rid of CF :)

Dont know too much about the specifics of your request but maybe have a look at the alternatives listed here https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/cloudflare

Thanks for helping! Unfortunately non of the products listed are feature wise comparable to Cloudflare. Still appreciate your time!

Can you identify the most important cloudflare features that a competitor would need to support in order to make it a viable option?

They donโ€™t do everything Cloudflare does, but Iโ€™ve used KeyCDN from Switzerland for maybe 7+ years now for many sites and been pleased with it.
