What you can do to resist Cloudflare?

< Matthew Prince (@eastdakota)

"I’d suggest this was armchair analysis by kids – it’s hard to take seriously." (source)

Website consumer
  • If the website you like is using Cloudflare, tell them not to use Cloudflare.
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

If you don't ask for it, website owner never know this problem. Example below. Successful example. Raise your voice.

You are just helping corporate censorship and mass surveillance.
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24351

Your web page is in the privacy-abusing private walled-garden of CloudFlare.
See https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/374#issuecomment-460077544
  • Take some time to read website's privacy policy. It must explain what the "Cloudflare" is, and ask for permission to share your(user) data with CF. Failure to do so will result in the breach of trust and the website in question should be avoided.

An acceptable privacy policy example is here (look at "Subprocessors" > "Entity Name")

I've read your privacy policy and I cannot find the word "Cloudflare".
I refuse to share data with you if you continue to feed my data to Cloudflare.
See https://notabug.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/src/master/README.md

For example, Liberland Jobs privacy policy says:

... is not going to happen. Cloudflare have their own "privacy policy", and there's no way to hear customer's privacy policy needs. Cloudflare loves doxxing people.

Here's a good example for website's signup form. AFAIK, zero website do this. Will you trust them?

By clicking “Sign up for XYZ”, you agree to our terms of service and privacy statement.
You also agree to share your data with Cloudflare and also agrees to cloudflare's privacy statement.
If Cloudflare leak your information, it's not our fault. [*]

[ Sign up for XYZ ] [ I disagree ]

  • Try not to use their service. Remember you are being watched by Cloudflare.

  • Search for other website. There are many alternatives and opportunites on the internet!

  • If your browser is Firefox, use one of these add-ons.

  • Convince your friends to use Tor Browser on the daily basis. Anonymity should be the standard of the open internet!
Website owner / Web developer

  • Using Cloudflare will increase chances of an outage. Visitors can't access to your website if your server is down or Cloudflare is down. Did you really think Cloudflare never go down? Another sample.

  • Using Cloudflare to proxy your "API service", "Client(software) update server" or "RSS feed" will harm your customer. A customer called you and said "I can't use your API anymore", and you have no idea what is going on. Cloudflare can silently block your customer. Do you think it is okay?

IP list is from "Cloudflare’s current IP ranges" webpage. They might lie, so check your server logs too.

Method A: Just block

Software user

  • If you use Debian GNU/Linux, or any derivative, subscribe to bug #831835. And if you can, help verify the patch, and help the maintainer come to the right conclusion on whether it should be accepted.

  • Always recommend these browsers.

Name Developer Support Comment
Tor Browser Tor Project Link PC (Win, Mac, Linux)
Tor Browser Android Tor Project Link Android
Onion Browser Mike Tigas Link Apple iOS
Ungoogled-Chromium Eloston Link PC (Win, Mac, Linux) Not Tor

Other software's privacy is imperfect. This doesn't mean Tor browser is "perfect". There is no 100% secure nor 100% private on the internet and technology.

  • Don't want to use "Tor"? You can use Tor Browser without Tor, and this is the best option for you.

How?

  1. Download Tor Browser and launch it.
  2. Open Add-ons Manager (about:addons) and disable EVERYTHING but "Torbutton". Do NOT remove them.
  3. Open about:config and search "extensions.torbutton.use_nontor_proxy". Set it to "true".
  4. Go to Options, scroll down to "Network Proxy". Click "Settings" and select "No proxy".
  5. Close Tor Browser.

Other guide is here.

Let's talk about other software's privacy...

Therefore we recommend "Tor Browser" only. Nothing else.

"Mozilla Firefox" user

  • Don't use Firefox Nightly. It will send debug-level information to Mozilla servers without opt-out method. Mozilla servers are behing Cloudflare.

  • It is possible to prohibit Firefox to connect to Mozilla servers. Create a file "/distribution/policies.json". Mozilla's policy-templates guide. Keep in mind this trick might stop working in later version because Mozilla likes to whitelist themselves. Use firewall and DNS filter to block them completely.

"WebsiteFilter": {
  "Block": [
  "*://*.mozilla.com/*",
  "*://*.mozilla.net/*",
  "*://*.mozilla.org/*",
  "*://*.firefox.com/*",
  "*://*.thunderbird.net/*",
  "*://*.cloudflare.com/*"
  ]
},

  • Report a bug on mozilla's tracker, telling them not to use Cloudflare/TRR. There was a bug report on bugzilla. Many people were posted their concern, however the bug was hidden by the admin last year.

  • To disable DOH, enter about:config?filter=network.trr in the address bar then set "network.trr.mode" to 5 to completely disable it. The value "5" means "Off by choice".

How?

  1. Download Tor and install it on your computer.
  2. Add this line to "torrc" file. DNSPort description. DNSPort 127.0.0.1:53
  3. Restart Tor.
  4. Set your computer's DNS server to "127.0.0.1".
  • Tell us if you see this functionality start to creep up beyond Firefox Nightly into more stable versions of Firefox.
Action

  • Tell others around you about the dangers of Cloudflare. But don't talk with NSA employee; you'll be definitely marked... just kidding!

  • Help improve this repository, both the lists, the arguments against it and the details.

  • Document and make very public where things go wrong with Cloudflare (and similar companies), making sure to mention this repository when you do so ;)

  • Get more people using Tor by default so they can experience the web from the perspective of different parts of the world.

  • Start groups, in social media and meatspace, dedicated to liberating the world from Cloudflare.

  • Where appropriate, link to these groups on this repository - this can be a place for coordinating working together as groups.

  • Start a coop that can provide a meaningful non corporate alternative to Cloudflare.

  • Let us know of any alternatives to help at least provide multiple layered defence against Cloudflare.

  • If you are a Cloudflare customer, set your privacy settings, and wait for them to violate them. Then bring them under anti-spam / privacy violation charges.

  • Try using globalist to maintain this list.

  • If you are in the United States of America and the website in question is a bank or an accountant, try to bring legal pressure under the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act, or the Americans with DIsabilities Act and report back to us how far you get.

  • If the website is a government site, try to bring legal pressure under the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution.

  • If you are EU citizen, contact the website to send your personal information under the General Data Protection Regulation. If they refuse to give you your information, that's a violation of the law.

  • For companies that claim to offer service on their website try reporting them as "false advertising" to consumer protection organizations and BBB. Cloudflare websites are served by Cloudflare servers.

  • The ITU suggest in the US context that Cloudflare is starting to get big enough that antitrust law might be brought down upon them.

  • It's conceivable that the GNU GPL v4 could include a provision against storing source code behind such a service, requiring for all GPLv4 and later programs that at least the source code is accessible via a medium that does not discriminate against tor users (or any other class of users or something?)

Now, what did you do today?
