If you can easily turn off the CDN and still serve your traffic with reasonable performance, then you are not. Otherwise, you are.

With my knowledge. Quit assuming people are naive haha. I'm aware that some people may get bounced. Chances are it was me that set that setting that bounced them. If you got bounced from a Cloudflare fronted site it was more likely the site admin wanted to bounce traffic like you than Cloudflare acting nefarious. Have a browse through the settings some time, see what's available. I'm pretty sure it's a single toggle in Cloudflare to enable my site on a tor domain too. Can't find the setting right now (on lunch, not used to mobile dash) but I've seen it somewhere. > If you can easily turn off the CDN and still serve your traffic with reasonable performance, then you are not Yeah that's easy enough, no worries. The bits I use Cloudflare for aren't strictly site performance related (cache close to the users is handy, of course) - I can make a webserver purr with the best of them. I can't afford to deploy servers globally and anycast them right now. Not to mention the administration burden. I could, sure, with the right budget. I don't have that budget. Might be a little pain moving redirects somewhere else but nothing I'd need to cancel plans for.
