I suppose this one is quite simple. How can they cache, if they don't MitM the connection? I don't think it would be technically possible. If you want the cache/CDN you just need to use a company you trust. If you don't trust them then you don't get the cache/CDN.
Correct. But people are viewing the DDOS protection, Cache, WAF, etc... functions as evidence that Cloudflare is obviously malicious and storing 100% of all data traversing them.
I've seen no evidence of that yet, and will certainly discontinue use of them if they show such tendencies. Until then, I will absolutely leverage their platform for my use as a paying customer.
I do understand the fear with their free platform though... They've gotta make money somehow, and I feel there's probably a fear that is data collection.
Hell yeah. My e-commerce sites can only function thanks to Cloudflare, particularly their DDOS and WAF, and Workers, and KV storage. Of all the tech companies to be worried about, Cloudflare is way down my list.
