Cloudflare has mixed up the definitions of "bot" and "abuse". Tor users may or may not be bots, but as long as they don't abuse (spamming or DoS), they ought to be treated the same.

- Kab1r 4y agoI think this is more of an opinion than a matter of fact
- thephyber 4y agoIt wasn’t framed as an opinion. And even if it was, I’m saying I think it is wrong and I want to know why I should change my mind. The fact is that CloudFlare distinguishes abuse (DDoS at IP layers 3 and 4) completely separately from bot detection. And it allows user controls to domain owners to allow some bots like Google Search Crawler. So my statement stands: I want to see a citation of evidence that CloudFlare doesn’t have the ability to distinguish abuse.
