What you can do to resist Cloudflare?
Website consumer
- If the website you like is using Cloudflare, tell them not to use Cloudflare.
You are just helping corporate censorship and mass surveillance.
-
Try not to use their service. Remember you are being watched by Cloudflare.
-
Search for other website. There are many alternatives and opportunites on the internet!
-
If your browser is Firefox, use one of these add-ons.
| Name | Can Block | Can Notify |
|---|---|---|
| Block Cloudflare MITM Attack II | Yes | Yes |
| Block Cloudflare MITM Attack | Yes | Yes |
| Searxes' Third-party Request Blocker | Yes | Yes |
| Detect Cloudflare | No | Yes |
- Convince your friends to use Tor Browser on the daily basis. Anonymity should be the standard of the open internet!
Website owner / Web developer

Do not use Cloudflare solution. You are loser if you fall to that easy solution. You can do better than that, right?
-
Install Web Application Firewall (such as OWASP) and Fail2Ban on your server and configure it properly.
-
Set up Tor Onion Service or I2P insite if you believe in freedom and welcome anonymous users.
-
Ask for advice from other Clearnet/Tor dual website operators and make anonymous friends! :)
Software user

If you use Debian GNU/Linux, or any derivative, subscribe to bug #831835. And if you can, help verify the patch, and help the maintainer come to the right conclusion on whether it should be accepted.
-
Always recommend Tor Browser for desktop and Orfox for smartphone. Other software's privacy is imperfect. This doesn't mean Tor browser is "perfect". There is no 100% secure nor 100% private on the internet and technology.
Let's talk about other software's privacy...

If you really need to use Firefox, pick "Firefox ESR". ESR is developed for company and organizations, thus some spyware code is disabled by default. Portable version is here.
