###### Website consumer
2018-09-03 12:17:32 +02:00
- If the website you like is using Cloudflare, tell them not to use Cloudflare.
> You are just helping corporate censorship and mass surveillance.

2018-09-03 12:27:53 +02:00
- 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!
2018-09-03 12:17:32 +02:00
2018-09-03 12:36:32 +02:00
- If your browser is Firefox, use [Block Cloudflare MITM Attack](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/24351/block_cloudflare_mitm_attack-1.0.14.1-an%2Bfx.xpi) add-on. Other alternatives are [Searxes' Third-party Request Blocker](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tprb/)(can block Cloudflare) and [Detect Cloudflare](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/detect-cloudflare/)(notify only).
2018-09-03 12:17:32 +02:00
- Convince your friends to use [Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/) on the daily basis. Anonymity should be the standard of the open internet!

2018-09-03 12:27:53 +02:00
- Do not use Cloudflare solution. You are loser if you fall to that easy solution. You can do better than that, right?
2018-09-03 12:17:32 +02:00
2018-09-03 12:27:53 +02:00
- Install Web Application Firewall and Fail2Ban on _your_ server and configure it _properly_.
2018-09-03 12:17:32 +02:00
- Set up [Tor Onion Service](https://www.torproject.org/docs/onion-services.html.en) if you believe in freedom and welcome anonymous users.
- Ask for advice from other [Clearnet/Tor dual website operators](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/projects/WeSupportTor) and make anonymous friends! :)

- If you use Debian GNU/Linux, or any derivative, subscribe to [bug #831835](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?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.
2018-09-03 12:17:32 +02:00
2018-09-03 12:29:14 +02:00
- Always recommend [Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/) for desktop and [Orfox](https://guardianproject.info/apps/orfox/) for smartphone. Other software's privacy is JUST A ILLUSION.

- If you really need to use Firefox, pick "[Firefox ESR](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/)". ESR is developed for company and organizations, thus _some_ spyware code is disabled by default. Portable version is [here](https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox-portable-esr).

- Remember, Mozilla is [using Cloudflare service](https://www.robtex.com/dns-lookup/www.mozilla.org). They're also using [Cloudflare's DNS service on their product](https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/21/mozilla_testing_dns_encryption/) D'oh!

- Start groups, in social media and meatspace, dedicated to liberating the world from Cloudflare.

2018-09-03 12:27:53 +02:00

2018-01-19 20:32:48 +01:00
2018-09-03 12:27:53 +02:00
- Let us know of any alternatives to help at least provide multiple layered defence against Cloudflare.

- If you are in the **United States of America** and the website in question is a bank or an accountant, try to bring legal pressure under the [GrammLeachBliley Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramm%E2%80%93Leach%E2%80%93Bliley_Act) and report back to us how far you get.
2018-01-19 20:32:48 +01:00
2018-09-03 12:48:02 +02:00
- If the website is a government site, try to bring legal pressure under the [1st Amendment of the US Constitution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution).
- If you are EU citizen, contact the website to send your personal information under the [General Data Protection Regulation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation). If they refuse to give you your information, that's a violation of the law.
2018-01-19 20:32:48 +01:00
2018-09-03 12:49:19 +02:00
- For companies that claim to _offer service on their website_ try reporting them as "_false advertising_" to consumer protection organizations and BBB. Cloudflare websites are served by Cloudflare servers.
