Cloudflare has very specifically owned IPs and a number of tell tales to show that a site is behind it. Why do you have beef when it's practically dead simple to see that a site is protected by cloudflare. There's zero obfuscation.
- auslander 8y agoPlease, how exactly in browser I can see it?
- Operyl 8y agohttps://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/claire/fgbpcgddpmjmamlibbaobboigaijnmkl https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/claire/fgbpcgddpmj... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cloudflare-claire/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cloudflare-cl... Are two ways I found with a very quick Google search.
- auslander 8y agoWell, thanks, but as I thought, its not that easy. First one is by CF themselves, no source :) Second is not used and not working. And nothing for Safari.
- qmarchi 8y agoSo some thing you can look for in a request: * `server: cloudflare` - Although CloudFlare uses a nginx, they report themselves properly in the server header * `Cookie: _cfudid:*` - CloudFlare uses the cookie header to identify users and prevent abuse. If you delete this cookie too many times, your IP is flagged by CloudFlare and you may receive an interstitial blocking you from accessing a site. * IP Ranges: https://www.cloudflare.com/ips-v4 and https://www.cloudflare.com/ips-v6 - CloudFlare owns the routing to these IP addresses. If you want, setup some Firewall Rules to block access to these ranges. All in all, CloudFlare is probably the least of your worries. You might want to do some investigation on your ISP, some of which MITM and track any insecure content.

- horsawlarway 8y agoNo joke. CloudFlare is near the bottom of my list of worries. I'm most concerned about my bank. They know goddamn everything about my spending history, and it's a complete treasure trove of data because it actually shows where I spend money. I'm second most concerned about my ISP. They see every outgoing connection I make, and have no trouble tying it all back to me. Cloudflare is... just not that big a deal. Are you concerned about Microsoft being able to MITM every connection to a site hosted on Azure? Amazon being able to MITM every connection made to AWS? Google being able to MITM every connection made to GCE? "Yes" is a fair answer, but it means you're using a minuscule fraction of the available internet. Otherwise I don't really see the need to pick on Cloudflare. They're doing exactly what the company that's using them asked them to do (and getting paid for it too...)
- auslander 8y ago> doing exactly what the company that's using them asked them to do But how do I, website user, can know it? Given how many sites are served by CF, my private, decrypted, data can be aggregated and I would have no clue. For ISPs use VPN. And I doubt (seriously) AWS (Azure) has means to do MITM, reading private keys from virtual machines? cmon. Banking is a real bitch, agree :)
- detaro 8y agoHow many people using AWS, GCP or Azure are terminating TLS on their instances, instead of on the offered load-balancing services? How many services run (partially) not in VMs, but on PaaS (e.g. App Engine), load data directly from storage services (e.g. Firebase or S3), ...
- Operyl 8y agoWe've told you several times how to know it as a user. You just conveniently are skipping over it..
- Operyl 8y agoIncorrect, the source is freely available, :). https://github.com/cloudflare/claire https://github.com/cloudflare/claire
- auslander 8y agowell done, my bad :)
