CloudFlare is cancer, they've blocked off most of the internet and deliberately block non-Google crawlers. There's been discussions on it here before.

- weird-eye-issue 5y agoIt depends how their user's configure the settings. You can use Cloudflare and effectively turn all blocking off very easily. There is a reason their customers tend to leave it on, or in my case, increase the default security level. Sorry Tor users, but 100% of the Tor traffic I've gotten has been malicious WP vulnerability scanning
- JasonFruit 5y agoOkay, I understand, but I am so sick of identifying stoplights, trucks, and airplanes. It would be nice to have someone say, "Oh, you'd like to read my interesting information anonymously? Go right ahead!"
- OmegaPG 5y agoFor webmasters, the damage these rogue bots, tor, hack attempts can just bring down the whole business. I think more and more smaller websites will be opting for cloudflare in coming days.
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoWebmasters? What is this, 2010? But on a serious note - you can't exactly rely on Cloudflare to not bring down a business. For me, it is a very nice convenience to throw up in front of my WP sites for caching and to help limit the bad traffic I get, but that's about it
