And if you turn off Cloudflare's protection to fix this, somebody that wants to censor you and has $20 will use one of the hundreds of DDoS booters (most of them are behind Cloudflare) to nuke your site, unless you're Brian Krebs and qualify for Project Shield. I'm very optimistic about the direction the internet is going in right now.

And notice those weird hashed links? IPFS hashes. As a quick primer, it's a hash that points towards a directory of content. Everything's deduplicated. Based on Torrents, GIT, and self-referential filesystems. an IPFS hash is immutable. The hash points at the hash, no matter what. Indestructible. Publish stuff by ipfs add -r folder An IPNS hash points towards an IPFS hash. It's a pointer you publish every 12 hours. It IS mutable. Do this by ipfs name publish <ipfs key of resource> The browser plugins with IPFS running allow you to pull the DNS text record of the IPNS hash, and you never touch the website! Example, PageNodes : http://ipfs.io/ipns/QmVjH4F65fnqy1GkBBYiuAkdazKzYsw3LbMVANGFeBGB8e/ http://ipfs.io/ipns/QmVjH4F65fnqy1GkBBYiuAkdazKzYsw3LbMVANGF...

Everybody makes the network faster.

  Sorry, but the OP wasn't talking about ipfs at all. He was talking about Cloudflare. Having said that, thanks for the interesting digression. You've made me want to try out ipfs.

    Heh, in my mind it made perfect sense. CloudFlare is a anti-DDoS and CDN network. IPFS is a CDN protocol that anyone can join or put files into. It doesn't quite hide the endpoints, but anyone can inject data. It does what CloudFlare does, but better. And as more people/nodes get online, free and ubiquitous.
