    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.
