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.

My man thinks he has privacy lol. Any CDN that provides WAF capabilities will inject themselves in the middle to inspect the traffic. This does not mean they don’t respect your privacy. If you think the three letter bureaus let you have your privacy with anything, you’re wrong. Privacy is a long dead thing of the past. You can’t even hide your data from companies that want to make a profit off your data, let alone the three letter government agencies. The government monitors and has access to every digital device known to regular consumers, beit in the US, CN or any other country.
I think you were doing all right until you got to the end, where you went into hardcore conspiracy theory mode. But even at the beginning, you were oversimplifying, which made your analysis weak. In reality, there are many different attackers willing to spend different amounts of time and money. When we take steps to improve security, we discourage some of those attackers even if we don’t stop them all.
