One of the ways Cloudflare actually makes money. No company can survive by giving everything away for free 😉
Argo is a service which dynamically tracks traffic to find the least congested ones and routes requests through them and it also serves requests to certain ISPs like Australia's Telstra directly rather than routing it up to Papua New Guinea and back (this is due to Telstra charging a ridiculous amount when Cloudflare tries to peer with them directly.)
It also provides tiered caching so that if the local Cloudflare datacenter you're hitting doesn't have an item cached, then that datacenter will request it from a nearby datacenter.
Argo Tunnel also allows you to secure your servers much more easily without having to fiddle around with firewalls and the like.
Argo starts at $5/month for the first gigabyte of the bandwidth, and then, it's ten cents per additional gigabyte. Also, Cloudflare has deals with some major hosts like Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Automattic and DigitalOcean to help cut bandwidth costs for mutual customers.
