CloudFlare ToS Issues causing SSL domain mismatch

[mbardelmeijer]

Hey! We noticed that the 'gitcdn.xyz' domain doesn't have an valid SSL certificate anymore. Is this an known issue?

[dslusser]

Wondering about this as well...

The domain has not expired, but is configured for the domains *.herokuapp.com and herokuapp.com. Looks like this is a misconfiguration at Heroku's end?

You could temporarily switch to https://gitcdn.link if you are running something in prod.

The TL;DR is that CloudFlare changes some policies near the end of December 2020, these changes were mostly innocuous, bar one new section: 2.8 of the ToS now states that no media can be delivered via their free tier, and to be able to serve them I would need to pay for a pro tier plan (~$20/month), though info on what plan I'd be required to choose is a little scarce.

Given the way this service can be used, there may be other outages coming as things stand.

My options are:

• Force media (audio, images, video, etc) to go through a non-cached subdomain.
• Work something out directly with CloudFlare, the service is free and open source after all.
• Pay for a plan that includes coverage for media

I'll probably end up choosing the last option, and start a patreon to help cover the costs.
So in the mean time, feel free to post alternative suggestions/feelings about a patreon, and we can discuss it!

Both domains are up as of 26-03-2021:

Thanks for working on this, looks like everything is up and running as expected! I use the service in a pretty minimal way, but would be happy to support a patreon campaign or another type of service that helps keep gitcdn running. Thanks for all the time and effort that goes into keeping this project active!
