Think of it as a compromise: You can leverage CloudFlare's CDN to mitigate DDoS and other sorts of nasty attacks AND assure TLS is used with every connection, without giving up your RSA key.
"It's clearly worse than doing nothing." It's not very clear to me. Please explain.
- km3k 12y agoI think "It's clearly worse than doing nothing" is from a purely security perspective. This opens up a larger attack surface, so it's worse in terms of security. But it's better than doing nothing from a business perspective, since it allows for better performance and better handling of DDOS attacks. It's a comprimise. Potentially it is slightly worse in security, but it is much better for performance and uptime.
