Cloudflare is a service provider the site owner contracts with too, so why the distinction?
- aaomidi 5y agoBecause math doesn't break like contracts do mainly.
- detaro 5y agothat doesn't address my point, since you can say the exact same about wherever the site is hosted unless you strictly self-host everything, which the vast majority of sites doesn't do.
- aaomidi 5y agoTo me there's a difference. Probably that terminating tls is base of CFs business model. Or that I'm just being illogical. No idea, just...don't like it.
- detaro 5y agoI'd argue the base is caching and load-balancing. And pretty much everything that has a business model of handling web traffic will need to handle HTTPS for its customers nowadays.
