In general, I always seem to find comments along the lines of this are very easy to thoroughly disprove. There has been consistent criticism of Cloudflare for many years, ever since the majority of web traffic started going through their anti-DDOS and anti-bot gateways. Here's a HN post with lots of very critical comments[0] from 7 years ago, including a fairly scathing one from 'tptacek. Even way back then, you'd get the same comments you hear today like: > So rather than demand fixes for the fundamental issues that enable ddos attacks (preventing IP spoofing, allowing infected computers to remain connected, etc), we just continue down this path of massive centralization of services into a few big players that can afford the arms race against bonnets. Using services like Cloudflare as a 'fix' is wrecking the decentralized principles of the Internet. At that point we might as well just write all apps as Facebook widgets. 0: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13718947 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13718947
