| "The Great Cloudwall" is [Cloudflare Inc.](https://www.cloudflare.com/), the [U.S. company](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloudflare). It is providing [CDN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network)(content delivery network) services, [DDoS mitigation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDoS_mitigation), [Internet security](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_security), and distributed [DNS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System)(domain name server) services. | ![](../image/cloudflaredearuser.jpg) |
| Cloudflare is the [world's](https://almanac.httparchive.org/en/2019/cdn) [largest](https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/proxy) MITM proxy([reverse proxy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy)). Cloudflare owns [more than 80% of CDN market](https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/proxy) share and the number of [cloudflare users](../cloudflare_users/) are growing each day. [They](../cloudflare_inc/cloudflare_members.md) have expanded their network to more than [100 countries](https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-network-expands-to-more-than-100-countries/). Cloudflare serves [more web traffic](https://wp-rocket.me/blog/cloudflare-use-not/) than [Twitter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter), [Amazon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_(company)), [Apple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc.), [Instagram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instagram), [Bing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bing_(search_engine)) & [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia) combined. Cloudflare is offering [free plan](https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/) and many people are using it instead of configuring their servers properly. They traded [privacy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy) over convenience. | ![](../image/cfmarketshare.jpg) |

| Cloudflare sits between you and origin webserver, acting like a [border patrol agent](https://www.cbp.gov/careers/bpa). You are not able to connect to your chosen destination. You are connecting to Cloudflare and all your information is being decrypted and handed over on the fly. | ![](../image/border_patrol.jpg) |
| The origin webserver administrator allowed the agent - Cloudflare - to decide [who can access](https://web.archive.org/web/https://gitlab.com/iblech/tor-appeal/issues/1) to their "_web property_" and define "_restricted area_". | ![](../image/usershoulddecide.jpg) |
| Take a look at the right image. You will think Cloudflare block _only_ [bad guys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hat_(computer_security)). You will think _Cloudflare is always online(never go [down](https://twitter.com/bengoldacre/status/1146058200887648258))_. You will think _legit bots and [crawlers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler) can index your website_. | ![](../image/howcfwork.jpg) |
