Notices tagged with cloudflare, page 3

Oh, #Cloudflare was having issues and brought a lot of websites down with it? That's not great.

But thankfully it's not that hard to roll out your own "DDoS protection" (or caching; just call it caching) setup. Here, you can even use our configs: https://git.occrp.org/libre/fasada

Yes, we use them in production, serving sometimes hundreds of thousands views per day.

Patches welcome. #SysAdmin

#Cloudflare is blocking me again. Asks me to tackle a challenge that requires #javascript to get past, basically making my surfing a lot less convenient, far less secure, and making the Web a much more dangerous place. Webmasters, boycott CF.

Wait, what. #CloudFlare introduces its own onion service and it doesn't look terribly bad:

Also of note, HTTP Alternative Services now supported by the Tor Browser:

#InfoSec

#Mozilla will change the way your #Firefox looks up DNS records. They say it's to protect your privacy and thats even somehow true. They announced two different ways to handle DNS lookups:

The first one is DoH (DNS over HTTPS) wich makes a lot of sense, since it just encrypts the DNS lookups.

The other one is TRR (Trusted Recursive Resolver) & involves sending all Firefox users' DNS lookups to a private, US based tech firm: #Cloudflare.

Here's why this is a bad idea:

For anyone else hyperventilating at the #Firefox testing of the new #IETF standard recommendation: #DoH

You might like to hear about options to still use DoH and NOT #Cloudflare #Mozilla is not about to introduce a Single Point of Failure. It's testing a new standard via one of the early adopting DNS providers.

Anyways, here's a list of alternative DoH end-points! https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/DNS-over-HTTPS#publicly-available-servers
