Cloudflare is a MITM you voluntarily setup yourself, innit?
Cloudflare is a MiTM on the internet at large.
CloudFlare is a MITM against its clients, by design. Everyone is good when things are good, but when trouble comes ..
Doesn't Cloudflare decrypt and MITM all traffic? In that case they can snoop on everything.
This is valid also on Cloudfare. I really do not see why i shall have more trust on Cloudfare than on my ISP ? They both operate in the "free" market.
Is this an April Fool's joke since Cloudflare overtly hates privacy (see stance on TOR)?
can you explain this a bit more ? I'm not up to date on what cloudflare has been doing lately or in the past privacy wise
Cloudflare is the network. You have no control over whether other sites use it.
Cloudflare can't just do this at will. This only applies to websites that have explicitly trusted Cloudflare with their TLS cert in order to protect themselves from cases exactly like this one.
"You are connecting to Cloudflare and all your information is being decrypted and handed over on the fly" - wait, really?
