As someone who uses HttpService for almost nothing except a proxy that can access Roblox’s webservers, it is inconvenient to have to pay for webserver hosting on my own.
A solution to this problem would be to allow HttpService to access certain Roblox endpoints that do not threaten the security of Roblox or similar. Normal html pages and other endpoints that are not made for an API purpose could still be blocked to prevent mass amounts of polling and scraping on said pages. There could also be a more stricter limit put in place on Roblox endpoints if the issue is not being able to handle the large amount of traffic.
If game server ips have special privileges, can’t Roblox temporarily proxy developer made requests themselves? It’s kind of annoying for developers who want to use roblox apis to each reimplement and worry about off-roblox proxies (the collective pain).
