Because cloud flare administratively centralizes a solution that was previously distributed.
Guess what percentage of websites Cloudflare could take down in minutes if they decided?
It doesn’t matter if cloudflare itself uses a distributed architecture. It’s a massive central point of failure/malice.

- cortesoft 5y agoIf cloudflare did that, then you do a simple DNS change and host your content somewhere else. You are ALWAYS going to be contracting with a third party to provide your connection to the internet... why is trusting cloudflare not to block you riskier than trusting your ISP or the data center that has your server?
- kortilla 5y ago> If cloudflare did that, then you do a simple DNS change and host your content somewhere else. You missed the point. It’s an illustration of how much of the global internet cloudflare intermediates and can eavesdrop, filter. Guess how many tor users you fucked by putting cloudflare between you and them. Vpn users, etc.
