question about cloudflare dns
hi i want to offer people free subdomains service like e.g. eu.org or freedns.afraid.org can i use for this cloudflare dns and add to cf users' dns nameservers, A records, etc? is it legal?

Two pointers:
1: Free accounts in CF have a dns record limit of 1,000
2: eu.org is part of the Public Suffix List, basically for security and etc purposes, each subdomain is treated as a full website: https://publicsuffix.org/
You'd want to get yourself on that list
No clue on the legality part/if you could get in trouble for people misusing your domains, but I assume if you were on the PSL you would have some protection, eitherway you'd probably get some abuse complaints/etc if you don't vet the list. There's one of these projects on github which uses Cloudflare, so I assume it's semi-ok
You also might want to consider "do we really need another one of these": https://github.com/abint7/free-domains
Edit: oh, the one on Github using Cf I was thinking of was https://github.com/js-org/js.org
thx
