    The point of cloudflare isn’t just to hide your real IP. It’s the caching, bot scrape protection, etc.

      And all this is done with a single entry in hosts after receiving the real address. After all, knowing the real address, the bot doesn’t have to go through cloudflare. The only good argument is caching, and it can be implemented independently. I find it strange to give all the traffic, including authorization, to cloudflare decrypt for the sake of caching.

        You can simply configure your server to reject non-cloudflare traffic, as you’re supposed to if you’re doing it properly.

          and I don’t understand why you think CloudFlare keeps your traffic so secret. After all, if you don’t pay for the service, you’re the product.
