archive.is
CloudFlare: A 104.16.181.15 (NSA, AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.)
Google: A 46.17.42.43 (Russia, AS51659)

"client was trying to make session requests to their API servers but before I can prevent it, cloudflare had me blocked. It's pretty bad as half the internet is behind Cloudflare."

Take a look at Cloudflare's transparency report, "Some things we have never done" section.

Cloudflare has never terminated a customer or taken down content due to political pressure.*

If you're using SumatraPDF, you won't notice * is a link to https://www.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-criticism/ . Apparently they've terminated a political account. Do you think it's okay to make a false statement and hide a link to tiny asterisk?

"Sites that respect their visitors do not resort to Cloudflare."
"In some cases, for particular countries, having all traffic visible

• The global internet is rotting from within, and

"In a not-so-distant future, if we're not there already, it may be that if you're going to put content on the Internet you'll need to use a company with a giant network like Cloudflare, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, or Alibaba."
