Cloudflare is MITM. It is unacceptable for any website that respects its users' privacy.



A great deal of DDoS services are essentially MITM intermediaries. Akamai, Black Lotus and others do the same thing. Why is CloudFlare the bad guy? They have an exemplary record thus far.


The comment I replied to was about Cloudflare. But what really concerns me are the website owners who betray their users by allowing their HTTPS traffic to be MITMd, no matter if they use Cloudflare or something else. Also it is not acceptable to let one entity (be it Cloudflare or anyone else) control a significant portion of the worlds web traffic.
