This is very interesting, thanks for posting.
According to completedns.com, instant-stresser.com has been using Cloudflare on and off for almost 8 years, and continuously for the last 3 years. It's also the 2nd result on Google for searching "free stresser". It seems impossible that this site hasn't been reported to Cloudflare by now, indicating that they have made the decision to continue protecting it. Very bad.
I haven't checked the other sites you mentioned, but if this pattern holds, it definitely changes my perspective on Cloudflare.
- creeble 4y agoWell, maybe this site will help: ddosforhire.net They're a lovely recommendation/review site that lists a few dozen DDoS-for-hire sites. Take a random look at who hosts the individual sites' DNS. Their business is fundamentally a shake-down racket, disguised as a free-speech defender.
- skrebbel 4y agoWait, you’re suggesting they had board room discussions where they consciously, actively chose to protect and encourage ddos-for-hire sites because the threat of ddos attacks helps keep cloudflare in business?

- creeble 4y agoI'm saying that, despite frequent reports of DDoS-for-hire sites using CF for protection, they do nothing. And they do nothing because they profit from their existence. Again, this isn't free speech -- it is the antithesis of free speech. That's called hypocrisy. And yes, of course they cooperate with the FBI on specific cases (or, at least one specific case) of DDoS-for-hire prosecution. Not only because they are compelled to do so by law, but because they are the only company that can identify where the perpetrators are actually hosted.
- joepie91_ 4y agoI don't know whether they did, but it certainly wouldn't be unprecedented in the DDoS mitigation industry.
