The Cloudflare Poison

Daily reminder that sites "protected" by cloudflare are effectively MITM attacks. HTTPS is now even more worthless. Cloudflare can see everything. this is a known fact and not a theory.

And if you think Cloudflare aren't being tapped by the NSA, you're sadly sadly naive.

All the "privacy respecting" sites use it too. So remember, as soon as you see that cloudflare portal page, you can assume that everything you plug into the site is property of NSA Inc. Trust no one, and do not trust code being served to you over the web if it comes through CF, there is no way to know what they've modified.

  • BTW, can someone recommend me nice alternative for fast and free static website hosting?

    I tried GitHub Pages, but I couldn't get it working with subdomains.

    • Codeberg pages

    • If you aren't hosting it isn't private. It is a rock and a hard place.

    • Use that random laptop/pc/phone/rasperry pi/whatever you have laying around

      • Unfortunately I can't do that with my ISP. Cloudflare tunnel would be an option, but out of obvious reasons I don't want to use it.

        I think I'll try Codeberg Pages.

        Anyway, thanks for your comment.

        • codeberg seems to be pretty decent. can also recommend neocities if you only have static stuff.They are one of least bullshit hoster ive ever seen

      • Only do that if you know how to properly secure your server and your (V)LAN, if you host from your residential connection (and your ISP supports it).
