Daily reminder that sites “protected” by cloudflare are effectively MITM attacks. HTTPS is now even more worthless. Cloudflare can see everything. this is a known fact and not a theory.

And if you think Cloudflare aren’t being tapped by the NSA, you’re sadly sadly naive.

All the “privacy respecting” sites use it too. So remember, as soon as you see that cloudflare portal page, you can assume that everything you plug into the site is property of NSA Inc. Trust no one, and do not trust code being served to you over the web if it comes through CF, there is no way to know what they’ve modified.

    They could steal your private keys, as could any program you install with root access

    There you go.

    and it’s open source.

    Are you sure that what you download from https://tailscale.com/download is 100% open-source and the same thing that is published on their repos?

    But it would comepletely destroy their business (…) I really dont think they have anything to gain by tricking everyone

    Same goes for Cloudflare. Maybe Tailscale is secure and good people, or maybe they copy all keys to somewhere and covertly share them with govt agencies.
