I don’t understand the parent viewpoint. “I don’t like Cloudflare because they’re trying to centralize the Internet and block me” It’s not as though Cloudflare goes out and randomly inserts themselves in Internet traffic and has some blanket policy of ruining TOR or blocking you. Cloudflare has customers (site hosts) that have choice in the marketplace and choose them. The customer configures whether their services use Cloudflare or not. The customer configures TOR access, CAPTCHA level, geoblocks, and any other number of hundreds of parameters. Then people get mad at Cloudflare when a site/host selects Cloudflare and configures it in a way that blocks them? Cloudflare is selling what people want to buy and providing the service in the way they configure it. If you have a problem with that take it up with the site/host/CF customer, I truly don’t understand how/why they can or should be blamed for their success. I think what you’ll find is that many Cloudflare customers are practical and pragmatic. Want access to our site over Tor? Sorry but Tor is 99.999% shady/malicious traffic we don’t care about. The risk vs reward isn’t there so blocked. Maybe if a customer says something we’ll enable it but that has never and will never happen so blocked. Our PCI scans and auditing systems are showing weird traffic from Asia even though we have no customers or business there? Blocked. Repeat this for any other number of factors and you can start to understand why Cloudflare has double the market share of their nearest competitor (AWS Cloudfront). They offer a product suite site owners and hosts love. The collateral damage from a tiny fringe of legitimate users who get stuck in the CAPTCHAs, use tor, etc just don’t matter to the site hosts. If they did they would configure Cloudflare differently or leave them altogether.
