▲ 116 ▼ Why does everyone hate Cloudflare?

What do they do and how is that different from other companies that offer similar services? What I know of them: they offer DDS brute force/spam protection for websites.
[–] orbital@infosec.pub 1 point 2 years ago Cloudflare's 1.1.1.2 blocks known malware domains, so that's better than 1.1.1.1 unless you want nothing blocked. If you want to block ads and trackers in addition to malware, try ControlD's 76.76.2.2 . Better still is to use encrypted DNS if your device supports it. I like NextDNS or ControlD for that, as DNS-Over-TLS or -HTTPS. permalink fedilink source parent
