are you me? I was about to make that exact comment
and indeed, having a service under "we promise" is a red flag

Are you suggesting that Cloudflare runs botnets to massively DDoS websites in order to get them to sign up for Cloudflare DDoS protection? That's a spurious claim.

Yes, encryption requires you to have the key for the person you want to talk to. You can ask some guy who claims to be trustworthy for they key instead, but that's just retarded. Even namecoin is better than X.509.
Yes, so they should give a 403 or whatever standard error instead of "le access denied XDDD".
look you fucking mongloids, cuckflare has nothing to do with DDoS mitigation. it's a ((("web security"))) provider and CDN. it literally only mitigates DDoS because it has to in order to implement a reverse proxy (required to implement things like anti scraping etc, for example if you're not on a good goy IP the following text will be blocked out because 8ch uses cuckflare: omg@lol.wut ). saying you need cuckflare to mitigate DDoS is like saying you need Myspace or VK to chat on the internet

Cloudflare will give you the IP address of the origin server if you submit a DMCA request, so the requester can contact the origin host if they wish. Post some OC, assert copyright violation and DMCA it and you have the source IP. Or you could just fake it...

The MitM stuff is dreadful, but really it is the fault of browser makers and certificate issuers for not rejecting Cloudflare certs for this.
Also it is not a wholly valid criticism. If you are on a pro (~$20 a month) or above plan you can do end to end HTTPS using you own cert, without them MitMing you traffic. They still proxy your static content on the edge using their own cert though, so that is insecure.
Cloudflare will also threaten customers who use "too much" bandwidth and try to force them onto their ludicrously expensive enterprise plans, they run cheaper plans through garbage tier networks into PoPs in far away cheaper locations, etc. Terrible company.
