- from 4y ago(Assuming these people aren't idiots). You don't know if they have any kind of reverse proxy setup beyond that. Even if they seize whatever server has the IP that Cloudflare is proxying they might just find an nginx server that's only a reverse proxy. If they alternate servers periodically and locate them in non-cooperative jurisdictions then they can prevent the government from finding anything useful. If they get kicked off Cloudflare they'll just go to DDOS-Guard. WHOIS data will probably lead them to njal.la, a person that does not exist, or some other domain nominee service. Nice right?
- flangola7 4y agoCould also be a clearweb proxy to an onion site.
- paulpauper 4y agoCoudflare is well known to tolerate even criminal activity unless they get a cease and desist order, and even then may not take action unless they get enough complaints or it's bad enough. This is why all the Russians scammers use Cloudflare when running youtube crypto scams. Same for hosting copyrighted stuff. There are countless complaints of copyright holders struggling to get Cloudflare to take action.
- latchkey 4y agoI'd say that a Wired article on NK laundering money will garner some fast attention. Virgil Griffith is in jail for 63 months for arguably less of an offense.
- _3gfy 4y agoFor arguably no offense at all, simply pissed off the US government.
- aaomidi 4y agoThis is why I like cloudflare. They’re not reactionary and have left a lot of the web safe where it would otherwise be dead.
