Blocking Cloudflare sites with Pi-hole?
discourse.pi-hole.net
The issue I am facing: While most people want Cloudflare, I want to avoid them and block sites that use them. Is this possible? Is there a blacklist of sites that use it? I have so much trouble with them I don't appreciate being randomly blocked and my privacy invaded by them. I realize this is not a popular opinion. But that is why I use PiHole, because my views are not popular. Details about my system: A discrete x86 computer running debian, Unbound, and PiHole. What I have changed si...

I have embedded a link into the title where a person is frustrated with Cloudflare.

I’m interested in knowing the extent of their telemetry and data collection. The user alleges that Cloudflare collects cookies from visitors when one visits a website using their proxy + CDN?

Just to be transparent: I’m not looking to use Cloudflare, I’m going to use my own setup with a VPS, however it is important to know about such technologies, especially since I work in IT.

      It doesn’t load for me, and according to the way back machine (it couldn’t save the readme somehow?) it redirects to a framagit repo that wants me to create an account.

      It’s really hard to take calls to action like this seriously, when they unironically talk like this:

      You cannot pass this invasive “browser check” without enabling JavaScript. This is a waste of five(or more) seconds of your valuable life.

      Most of the other points are either grasping, misleading, or make the classic FOSS-centric assumption that we live in a fantasy land where all hosting is free and companies don’t need to exist.

      I’m not out here trying to say Cloudflare is vital to society, but come on, these arguments are toothless.
