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.

That all depends on your setup. If your website is on a VPS, why are you adding the extra security? Are you adding extra security? I think one of the points is that you’re taking away security.
And if you need firewall rules, maybe you should put the firewall rules on your firewall. Why would you rely on someone else’s firewall?
