Think about your visitors.
Do you like it when websites ruin a bit of your experience?
In other words: Would you love to visit a website which forces you
to solve a annoying timewasting puzzle usually after waiting five
seconds which also cost you valuable time?
Awesome! Use Cloudflare!

*Why you should say "NO" to Cloudflare*
---
![CrimeFlarE logo](../image/crimeflare-logo.png)
Are you already aware of the problems of [Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com/)?
You might want to check:
- [Alternatives](#alternatives)
- [Solutions](#solutions)
## Who are we?
`CrimeFlarE`(CFE) is a group of volunteer [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/), privacy and net neutrality
enthusiasts working to counter CloudFlares oppressive attack on the Tor
community and reduce the harms CloudFlare brings to all users (Tor users and
clearnet users).
## Who is Cloudflare?
Cloudflare is the world's largest man-in-the-middle proxy. Technically it is called "[reverse proxy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy)".
This means that it sits between you and the server which sent you webpages and images.
Cloudflare is a [content delivery network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network), which means that it has different
servers in different locations, so that websites are supposed to be better
reachable. This has some bad sides.
![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/matthew_prince.jpg)
## Why you shouldn't use it
### Privacy problems
#### Single point of failure
Cloudflare goes down from time to time.
All the content which uses Cloudflare goes down as well when that happens.
Read more about the [single point of failure](../subfiles/single-point-of-failure-problem.md).
![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/cloudflareoutage-2020.jpg)
#### It removes anonymity
Cloudflare usually blocks Tor or makes it hard for Tor users to access the
website or content. Tor is not only for criminals. It is important for many
people and everyone has the right on privacy.
Tor is important, read more about [why Tor matters](../subfiles/why-tor-matters.md).
Cloudflare often uses Google reCATPCHAs to check if you are human. These
CAPTCHAs which check if you are human, track you and many claim that they
even try to find out which human you are.
Read more about the [reCAPTCHA problem](../subfiles/recaptcha-problem.md).
#### Project Honey Pot
"[Project Honey Pot](https://www.projecthoneypot.org/)" is a project which collects a lot of personal data
and much of that data is from innocent people who deserve privacy.
Cloudflare was created by people who worked on that project. US DHS showed interest to this project.
![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/honeypot.gif)
### Not convenient
Cloudflare is not convenient for many visitors of your site.
You will lose visitors when you choose Cloudflare.
Many people who helped writing this file even blocked by Cloudflare.
Did you know that you can lose visitors because your site [doesn't load in a few seconds](https://www.hostingmanual.net/3-seconds-how-website-speed-impacts-visitors-sales/)?
Cloudflare often makes visitors wait for more than few seconds.
Many visitors will just leave your site when they see this.
![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/onemorestep.jpg)
No one wants to click multiple images just to read your website.
Here is an [example video](../image/cloudflare_withprivaon.mp4) of CloudFlare blocking user who is using privacy add-ons.
### Other problems
There are other problems as well, but we want to keep this file simple.
Those problems are listed in [another file](../subfiles/more-cloudflare-problems.md).
## Cloudflare Alternatives
Do you own a website?
We created a [file with Cloudflare alternatives](../subfiles/cloudflare-alternatives.md)
to make your life easier if you agree with us.
## Solutions
### Blocking Cloudflare request or IPs
- [Add-ons](../what-to-do.md#website-consumer)
- [Cloudflare IPs to block](../cloudflare_inc/)
- [Change default DNS provider of firefox](../subfiles/change-firefox-dns.md)
### Share information about the problem
Many supporters of CrimeFlarE have written some
[articles](../subfiles/articles.md) about the problem.
You can check them out and share them.
You can ask website owners to stop using Cloudflare, please do so in a polite way.
It might be good to mention some [alternatives](#alternatives).
There are more files on this repository to educate yourself.
We haven't included them all in the README to keep it fairly readable.
## Not convinced yet?
Many supporters of CrimeFlarE have written some [articles](../subfiles/articles.md) about the problem.
You can check them out and share them.
---
Still not convinced? That's fine.
Just know that many people won't be able to use your content or website.
Cloudflare works against you.

## Single point of failure problem
A single point of failure is a point which will stop the entire system from
working if it fails.
Sites or other things which use Cloudflare go down if Cloudflare goes down.

***Why you should say "No" to Cloudflare***
## Why Tor matters.
### Your users matter
Every visitor helps. Think about their experience. Cloudflare lets them wait.
Even users who don't use Tor get the "wait several seconds" messages. Users
often leave sites when they have to wait too long.
