If everyone did that, there's no point to using this protocol. The strength of the network comes from the fact that the content gets replicated/distributed when accessed. That doesn't happen when accessed through a proxy.
- lgats 3y agoThe benefit is ease of access, if content gets blocked on one mirror (ipfs.io), it may be available on another (cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/, etc)
- Saris 3y ago>However, is using a proxy like ipfs.io really using ipfs? Yes! Because the gateway can go down and you can still access the content via local IPFS node or by using another gateway.
