Cloudflare: Why I left lemmy.world to join another instance (lemmy.ca)

Sad to see. We should all know cloudlfare decrypts our data before it reaches the service it protects. A perfect surveillance man-in-the-middle.

I was happy to find a home in the fediverse that uses Anubis instead.

Was thinking about it incorrectly when I wrote this comment.

~~If they use SSL/TLS between their host server and Cloudflare, then Cloudflare can’t decrypt your traffic as you’re suggesting.~~

Cloudflare is the SSL/TLS endpoint between you and the application.

When you use Cloudflare, data is encrypted between a client and Cloudflare (using 'their' SSL cert), they unencrypt it and inspect so they can process it, caching etc, then it' can be encrypted between Cloudflare and the backend using your own backend certificate.

So Cloudflare can see everything, its required for them to do what they do
