Blocking Cloudflare sites with Pi-hole?
discourse.pi-hole.net
The issue I am facing: While most people want Cloudflare, I want to avoid them and block sites that use them. Is this possible? Is there a blacklist of sites that use it? I have so much trouble with them I don't appreciate being randomly blocked and my privacy invaded by them. I realize this is not a popular opinion. But that is why I use PiHole, because my views are not popular. Details about my system: A discrete x86 computer running debian, Unbound, and PiHole. What I have changed si...

I have embedded a link into the title where a person is frustrated with Cloudflare.

I’m interested in knowing the extent of their telemetry and data collection. The user alleges that Cloudflare collects cookies from visitors when one visits a website using their proxy + CDN?

Just to be transparent: I’m not looking to use Cloudflare, I’m going to use my own setup with a VPS, however it is important to know about such technologies, especially since I work in IT.

    He wants to block every single site that uses cloudflare.

    Maybe it would be easier to block access to everything except a trusted whitelist

    I think at this point the best approach is to call the ISP and ask for a cancellation. Buy a modem and connect to old style BBS

      Not the point though. I don’t care about his motivations, only the fact that brought up: how much do their telemetry practices extend? How do they track even our cookies?

        On normal proxy they shouldn’t be able, on protected pages they can get the one previously set for the interstitial page for DDoS or login protection (nobody would like to enter a CAPTCHA on every single load)

      Unplugging the Ethernet cable does the same effect lol.
