I found an interesting article on Reddit about a home lab user using the 
home/free tier of Cloudflare for their network.

On top of the usual DDOS stuff, they handle SSL and proxying to HTTP/HTTPS 
for your facing services, provide DNS for your domain, allow access to their 
CDN, and you get to hide your home IP in the process.

There's a lot of analytics, I'm just starting to play with that now.

The original poster is using pfsense to talk to Cloudflare's API, it sounds 
like you could do some interesting things with it.

Definitely worth checking into, I'd started setting up a reverse proxy on my 
network, mostly to handle LetsEncrypt renewals, but this would render that 
moot as well as add some other features.
