In case Cloudflare monitors the keyword "Cloudflare" in HN comments, I'll mention it here – Cloudflare.

  Cloudflare is all over HN and their CTO, jgrahamc, will frequently appear to answer questions. California is just waking up so I expect a few ho it a before we get some solid answers to this issue.

  I'm beginning to suspect that in addition to Cloudflare fanbois who'll downvote anything that paints Cloudflare in a bad light, Cloudflare may even have bots of their own. There're just too many downvoters to be explained by simple fanbois. I get that some companies have fans, and I get that some of those fans become fanbois - fans regardless of the truth, with a ridiculous us-versus-them mentality. But I seriously doubt there are enough to explain what we see here on HN. It'd be nice if Cloudflare weren't such assholes. They refuse to answer questions directly, they intentionally use form responses to be vague and uncommunicative when it suits them, and they clearly don't care about doing the right thing. They COULD be a much better company if they just communicated without being smug assholes. Even a straightforward answer that isn't what we want to hear, like, "These are our VPN endpoints, and we have no plans to do anything about VPN customers who are attempting to brute force ssh." would still make it easy for us to respect Cloudflare. Instead, they facilitate abuse, ignore abuse complaints, and refuse to communicate, which, at least in my opinion, makes them assholes.
