## Website consumer
|
||
</summary>
|
||
|
||
|
||
- If the website you like is using Cloudflare, tell them not to use Cloudflare.
|
||
- Whining on social media such as Facebook, Reddit, Twitter or Mastodon makes _no_ difference. [Actions are louder than hashtags](https://twitter.com/phyzonloop/status/1274132092490862594).
|
||
- Try to contact to the website owner _if_ you want to make yourself useful.
|
||
|
||
[Cloudflare said](https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/issues/783):
|
||
```
|
||
We recommend that you reach out to the administrators for the
|
||
specific services or sites that you run into issue with and share your experience.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you don't [ask for it](PEOPLE.md), website owner *never* know this problem.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
[Successful example](https://counterpartytalk.org/t/turn-off-cloudflare-on-counterparty-co-plz/164/5).<br>
|
||
You have a problem? [Raise your voice now](https://github.com/maraoz/maraoz.github.io/issues/1). Example below.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
You are just helping corporate censorship and mass surveillance.
|
||
https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/src/branch/master/README.md
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Your web page is in the privacy-abusing private walled-garden of CloudFlare.
|
||
See https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Take some time to read website's privacy policy.
|
||
- ...if the website is behind Cloudflare or website is using services connected to Cloudflare.
|
||
|
||
It must explain what the "_Cloudflare_" is, and ask for permission to share your(user) data with Cloudflare. Failure to do so will result in the breach of trust and the website in question should be avoided.
|
||
|
||
An _acceptable_ privacy policy example is [here](https://archive.is/bDlTz) (look at "Subprocessors" > "Entity Name")
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
I've read your privacy policy and I cannot find the word "Cloudflare".
|
||
I refuse to share data with you if you continue to feed my data to Cloudflare.
|
||
See https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For example, [Liberland Jobs](https://archive.is/daKIr) [privacy policy](https://docsend.com/view/feiwyte) says:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
... is not going to happen.
|
||
Cloudflare have their own "privacy policy", and there's no way to hear customer's privacy policy needs.
|
||
Cloudflare [loves doxxing people](https://www.reddit.com/r/GamerGhazi/comments/2s64fe/be_wary_reporting_to_cloudflare/).
|
||
|
||
Here's a good example for website's signup form.
|
||
AFAIK, zero website do this. Will you trust them?
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
By clicking “Sign up for XYZ”, you agree to our terms of service and privacy statement.
|
||
You also agree to share your data with Cloudflare and also agrees to cloudflare's privacy statement.
|
||
If Cloudflare leak your information or won't let you to connect to our servers, it's not our fault. [*]
|
||
|
||
[ Sign up for XYZ ] [ I disagree ]
|
||
```
|
||
[*] [People's voice](PEOPLE.md)
|
||
|
||
|
||
- Try not to use their service. Remember you are being watched by Cloudflare.
|
||
- [I'm in your TLS, sniffin' your passworz](https://codeberg.org/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor/media/branch/master/image/iminurtls.jpg)
|
||
|
||
- Search for other website. There are alternatives and opportunites on the internet!
|
||
|
||
- Convince your friends to use [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/) on the daily basis.
|
||
- Anonymity should be the standard of the open internet!
|
||
- Do note that the Tor project [dislikes this cloudflare-tor project](HISTORY.md).

- Do not use Cloudflare solution, Period.
|
||
- You can do better than that, *right*? Here's how to [remove Cloudflare subscriptions, plans, domains, or accounts](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200167776-Removing-subscriptions-plans-domains-or-accounts).

- Want more customers? You know what to do. Hint is "_above line_".
|
||
- Hello, you wrote "[We take your privacy seriously](https://it.slashdot.org/story/19/02/19/0033255/stop-saying-we-take-your-privacy-and-security-seriously)" but I got "_Error 403 Forbidden Anonymous Proxy Not Allowed_". Why are you blocking Tor? Or VPN?
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
- Using Cloudflare will increase chances of an outage. Visitors can't access to your website if your server is down *or Cloudflare is down*. Did you really think [Cloudflare never go down](https://www.ibtimes.com/cloudflare-down-not-working-sites-producing-504-gateway-timeout-errors-2618008)? [Another](https://twitter.com/Jedduff/status/1097875615997399040) [sample](https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=Cloudflare%20is%20having%20problems). [Need more](PEOPLE.md)?
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
- Using Cloudflare to proxy your "API service", "Client(software) [update server](https://forums.clamwin.com/viewtopic.php?t=4915)" or "RSS feed" will harm your customer. A customer called you and said "_I can't use your API anymore_", and you have no idea what is going on. Cloudflare can [silently block your customer](PEOPLE.md). [Do you think it is okay](https://twitter.com/Skyfusion89/status/1101596592426151937)?
|
||
- There are many RSS reader client and RSS reader online service. Why are you publishing RSS feed if you're not allowing people to subscribe?
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
- Do you need HTTPS certificate? Use "[Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/)" or just buy it from CA company.
|
||
|
||
- Do you need [DNS server](https://twitter.com/IngeniousAppsIA/status/1187730384492077057)? Can't set up your own server? Then how about [1984 FreeDNS](https://www.1984hosting.com/), [Hurricane Electric Free DNS](https://dns.he.net/), [Dyn.com](https://dyn.com/dns/) or [this (warning: Admin delete your account if you use TOR)](https://freedns.afraid.org/)?
|
||
|
||
- Looking for hosting service? "Free" only? Well, how about [Onion Service](http://vww6ybal4bd7szmgncyruucpgfkqahzddi37ktceo3ah7ngmcopnpyyd.onion/en/security/network-security/tor/onionservices-best-practices), [Free Web Hosting Area](https://freewha.com/), [Autistici/Inventati Web Site Hosting](https://www.autinv5q6en4gpf4.onion/services/website), [Github Pages](https://pages.github.com/), [Surge](https://surge.sh/) or [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/5m8tr4/how_do_i_host_the_website_i_just_built/dc1qpk7/)?

||
- [Cloudflare Alternatives](subfiles/cloudflare-alternatives.md)
|
||
|
||
- Are you using "_cloudflare-ipfs.com_"? Do you know [Cloudflare IPFS is bad](PEOPLE.md)?
|
||
|
||
- Install Web Application Firewall (such as OWASP) and Fail2Ban on _your_ server and configure it _properly_.
|
||
- Blocking Tor is not a solution. Don't punish everyone just for small bad users.
|
||
|
||
- If you want to know more alternative solutions, take a look at [this blog's "Alternative solutions" section](http://www.unixsheikh.com/articles/stay-away-from-cloudflare.html).

- Redirect or block "_Cloudflare Warp_" users from accessing your website. And provide a reason if you can.

- Discord is using CloudFlare. Alternatives? We recommend [**Briar** (Android)](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.briarproject.briar.android/), [Ricochet (PC)](https://ricochet.im/), or [Tox over Tor Socks (Android/PC)](https://tox.chat/download.html).
|

- Briar includes Tor daemon so you don't have to install Orbot.
|

- Qwtch developers, Open Privacy (Canada), deleted cloudflare-tor project from their git service without notice.

||
- 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.
|

- Always recommend these browsers.

Other software's privacy is imperfect. This doesn't mean Tor browser is "_perfect_".
|
||
There is no 100% secure nor 100% private on the internet and technology.
|
||
|
||
- Don't want to use "Tor"? You can use _any browser_ with [Tor daemon](https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=names&keywords=tor).
|
||
- Note that the Tor project [don't like this](https://support.torproject.org/tbb/tbb-9/). Use `Tor Browser` if you are able to do so.
|
||
- [How to use Chromium with Tor](subfiles/chromium_tor.md)
|
||
|
||
- It may be possible to use "Tor Browser" without Tor:
|
||
|
||
> **How?**
|
||
> 1. Download [Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/) and launch it.
|
||
> 2. Open Add-ons Manager (about:addons) and *disable* EVERYTHING but "*Torbutton*". **Do NOT *remove* them**.
|
||
> 3. Open about:config and search "*extensions.torbutton.use_nontor_proxy*". Set it to "*true*".
|
||
> 4. Create new boolean "*extensions.torlauncher.start_tor*". Set it to "*false*".
|
||
> 5. Close Tor Browser.

Let's talk about _other software's privacy_...
|
||
|
||
- **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). But we tell you, Firefox is [horrible for privacy](https://www.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/81om92/what_are_the_differences_between_privacytoolsio/dv4orve/) in [many ways](https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/firefox.html).

|
||
|
||
- 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!

He also hate Tor users - "[Let it be hostile towards Tor. I think most sites should be hostile towards Tor considering its extremely high abuse factor.](https://github.com/yacy/yacy_search_server/issues/314#issuecomment-565932097)". (abuse rate over Tor is NOT "extremely high". there's a study about it)

- Don't use Firefox Nightly. It will send debug-level information to Mozilla servers without opt-out method. Mozilla servers are [behing Cloudflare](https://www.digwebinterface.com/?hostnames=www.mozilla.org%0D%0Amozilla.cloudflare-dns.com&type=&ns=resolver&useresolver=8.8.4.4&nameservers=).
|
||
|
||
- It is possible to prohibit Firefox to connect to Mozilla servers. Create a file "`/distribution/policies.json`". Mozilla's [policy-templates guide](https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md). Keep in mind this trick might stop working in later version because Mozilla likes to whitelist themselves. Use firewall and DNS filter to block them completely.

- ~~Report a bug on mozilla's tracker, telling them not to use Cloudflare/TRR.~~ There was a bug report on bugzilla. Many people were posted their concern, however the bug was hidden by the admin in 2018.

- To disable DoH, enter *about:config?filter=network.trr* in the address bar then set "*network.trr.mode*" to 5 to completely disable it. The value "5" [means "Off by choice"](https://gist.github.com/bagder/5e29101079e9ac78920ba2fc718aceec).

## Action
|
||
</summary>
|
||
|
||
|
||
- Tell others around you about the dangers of Cloudflare. But don't talk with NSA employee; you'll be _definitely_ [marked](https://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=15426596&cid=59534554)... just kidding!
|
||
|
||
- Help improve this repository, both the lists, the arguments against it and the details.
|
||
|
||
- Document and make very public where things go wrong with Cloudflare (and similar companies), making sure to mention this repository when you do so ;)
|
||
|
||
- Get more people using Tor by default so they can experience the web from the perspective of different parts of the world.
|
||
|
||
- Start groups, in social media and meatspace, dedicated to liberating the world from Cloudflare.
|
||
|
||
- Where appropriate, link to these groups on this repository - this can be a place for coordinating working together as groups.
|
||
|
||
- Start a coop that can provide a meaningful non corporate alternative to Cloudflare.
|
||
|
||
- Let us know of any alternatives to help at least provide multiple layered defence against Cloudflare.
|
||
|
||
- If you are a Cloudflare customer, set your privacy settings, and wait for them to violate them. Then bring them under [anti-spam / privacy violation charges](https://twitter.com/thexpaw/status/1108424723233419264).
|
||
|
||
- 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 [Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramm%E2%80%93Leach%E2%80%93Bliley_Act), or the [Americans with DIsabilities Act](https://www.ada.gov/cguide.htm) and report back to us how far you get.
|
||
|
||
- 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.
|
||
|
||
- 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.
|
||
|
||
- The [ITU](https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/Workshops-and-Seminars/20181218/Documents/Geoff_Huston_Presentation.pdf) suggest in the US context that Cloudflare is starting to get big enough that antitrust law might be brought down upon them.
|
||
|
||
- It's conceivable that the GNU GPL v4 could include a provision against storing source code behind such a service, requiring for all GPLv4 and later programs that at least the source code is accessible via a medium that does not discriminate against tor users (or any other class of users or something?)

There is always hope in resistance.
|
||
|
||
Resistance is fertile.
|
||
|
||
Even some of the darker outcomes (unfriendly AI takeover, coopting of the www, NSA MiTMing everything)
|
||
comes to be, the very act of resistance trains us to continue to destabilize the
|
||
dystopic status quo that results.
|
||
|
||
Resist!
