It 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)). It sits between you and origin webserver, acting like a [border patrol agent](https://www.cbp.gov/careers/bpa). The origin webserver administrator allowed the agent 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_". --- ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/cfmarketshare.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/cloudflaredearuser.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/usershoulddecide.jpg) --- Take a look at the first image posted below. You will think Cloudflare block _only_ attackers. You will think _Cloudflare is always online(never go [down](https://twitter.com/bengoldacre/status/1146058200887648258))_. However [it is not true](PEOPLE.md). --- ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/howcfwork.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/cfdowncfcom.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/cfdown2019.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/cloudflareinternalerror.jpg) --- It is called this in reference to the [Great Firewall of China](https://www.comparitech.com/privacy-security-tools/blockedinchina/) which does a comparable job of [filtering out many humans](PEOPLE.md) from seeing web content (ie everyone in mainland China and people outside) while at the same time those not affected to see a dratically different web, a web free of censorship such as an image of ["tank man"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man) and the history of ["Tiananmen Square protests"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests#Censorship_in_China). Cloudflare possesses [great power](http://digdeep4orxw6psc33yxa2dgmuycj74zi6334xhxjlgppw6odvkzkiad.onion/ghost/mozilla.html). In a sense, they control what the end user ultimately sees. Cloudflare also [automatically](https://twitter.com/itsybitsydots/status/1212691131508477952) [block](PEOPLE.md) legit robots/crawlers such as Google, Yandex, Yacy, and API clients. --- ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/cloudflarechina.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/onemorestep.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/accdenied.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/cfublock.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/omsjsck.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/cftestgoogle.jpg) --- Cloudflare similarly prevents many people who have poor internet connectivity from accessing the websites behind it (for example, they could be behind 7+ layers of NAT or sharing same IP) unless they solve multiple image CAPTCHAs. In some cases, [this will take 10 to 30 minutes to satisfy Google](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23840). Many humans and software are being blocked by Cloudflare [every day](PEOPLE.md). There is no way to solve the captcha without enabling Javascript and Cookies. Cloudflare is [using them](PEOPLE.md) to make a browser signature to [identify](https://cryptome.org/2016/07/cloudflare-de-anons-tor.htm) [you](PEOPLE.md). --- ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/googlerecaptcha.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/omsnote.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/omsdroid.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/omsstream.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/omsappl.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/cferr1010bsig.jpg) --- [Tor users](https://www.torproject.org/) and [VPN users](https://airvpn.org/topic/23090-cloudflare-often-bans-my-ip-address/) are also a [victim](https://blog.torproject.org/trouble-cloudflare) of Cloudflare. If you didn't try Tor until this moment, we encourage you to [download Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/) and visit your favorite websites. (advice: _Do not login to your bank website or government webpage or they will flag your account. [Use VPN](https://www.vpngate.net/en/) for those websites._) You might want to say "_Tor is illegal! Tor is criminal's browser! Tor is bad!_". No. Tor _was_ [developed by US Army](https://www.nrl.navy.mil/itd/chacs/dingledine-tor-second-generation-onion-router), but current Tor is developed by the [Tor project](https://www.torproject.org/). There are many people and organizations [who use Tor](https://blog.torproject.org/tor-misused-criminals) including your future friends. So, if you are using Cloudflare on your website you are blocking _real_ humans. You will lose potential friendship and business deal. --- ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/banvpn2.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/banvpn.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/whousetor.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/iusetor_alith.jpg) --- And their DNS service, [1.1.1.1](https://1.1.1.1/), is also filtering out users from visiting the website by returning [fake](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32915) IP address [owned by Cloudflare](https://www.reddit.com/r/CloudFlare/comments/hiqm4u/no_cloudflare_website_is_loading/), localhost IP such as "127.0.0.x", or just return nothing.

If you visit website which use Cloudflare, you are sharing your information not only to website owner _but also Cloudflare_. It is impossible to [analyze](https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-csam-scanning-tool/) without [decrypting TLS traffic](https://github.com/nym-zone/block_cloudflare_mitm_fx/issues/15#issuecomment-354773389). Cloudflare knows all your data such as raw password.

Internet user's online profile is a "product" that the government and big tech companies wants to buy. U.S. [Department of Homeland Security](https://www.dhs.gov/) said: ``` Do you have any idea how valuable the data you have is?

If you use it, all your smartphone ([or your computer](https://techniapps.com/2019/09/26/download-cloudflare-warp-vpn-for-pc-windows-10-mac/)) connections are sent to Cloudflare servers. Cloudflare can know which website you've read, what comment you've posted, who you've talked to, etc. You are voluntary giving [all your information](https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/374#issuecomment-478686469) to Cloudflare. If you think "_Are you joking? Cloudflare is secure._" then you need to learn how [VPN works](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPN). Cloudflare said their VPN service make your internet [fast](https://www.wired.com/story/cloudflare-says-new-vpn-service-wont-slow-you-down/). But VPN make your internet connection _slower_ than [your](https://twitter.com/ExYakuza/status/1182317536089526273) [existing](https://twitter.com/waddling/status/1177615384616325120) [connection](https://techcrunch.com/2019/04/01/cloudflares-warp-is-a-vpn-that-might-actually-make-your-mobile-connection-better/). --- ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/howvpnwork.jpg) ![](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/notfastervpn.jpg) --- You might already know about the [PRISM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)) scandal. It is true that AT&T lets NSA to [copy all internet data](https://www.cnet.com/news/at-t-lets-nsa-hide-and-surveil-in-plain-sight-the-intercept-reports/) for surveillance. Let's say you're working at the NSA, and you want _every citizen's internet profile_. You know most of them are [blindly trusting Cloudflare](https://twitter.com/search?q=Cloudflare&f=live) and using it - only one centralized gateway - to proxy their company server connection([SSH](https://blog.cloudflare.com/public-keys-are-not-enough-for-ssh-security/)/[RDP](https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-access-now-supports-rdp/)), personal website, chat website, forum website, bank website, insurance website, search engine, secret member-only website, auction website, [shopping](https://www.cloudflare.com/case-studies/shopify-powering-the-biggest-shopping-weekend-of-the-year/), video website, NSFW website, and illegal website. You also know they use Cloudflare's DNS service ("_1.1.1.1_") and VPN service ("_Cloudflare Warp_") for "_Secure! Faster! Better!_" internet experience. Combining them with user's IP address, browser [fingerprint](https://github.com/VeNoMouS/cloudscraper/issues/209#issuecomment-624853689), cookies and RAY-ID will be useful to build target's online profile.
