Yes, it worries me that Cloudflare is proxying an ever larger number of websites I visit. It is not so easy to dump Cloudflare when you need it though. They mitigate DDoS attacks, handle large volume traffic. I think moot even said that he'd have to close 4chan if it wasn't for Cloudflare.
- stevenh 12y agoCloudflare hosts and defends the sites of numerous DDoS-for-pay services and they refuse to take them down. http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/02/the-new-normal-200-400-gbps-ddos-attacks/ http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/02/the-new-normal-200-400-gb... "[The DDoS-for-pay] industry probably would destroy itself without Cloudflare’s protection, and furthermore ... some might perceive a credibility issue with a company that sells DDoS protection services providing safe haven to an entire cottage industry of DDoS-for-hire services."
- spindritf 12y agoThat actually makes me trust them more. If they don't take down a site like that, then whatever site I run is certainly in the clear.
