Significance of specifying cloudflare? #218

Open GlytchMeister opened 1 month ago

GlytchMeister commented 1 month ago

In the public instances page, there's a column specifying if the instance uses cloudflare. What is the significance of this?

I suppose it would be nice to have this explained on the public instances page.

(I chose not to list this as an enhancement because this isn't a feature request for proxitok itself)

Thanks

CF is listed as if a user is using ProxiTok to circumvent censorship or simply doesn't want to be tracked by a big tech company. CF adds a Proxy that they can unencrypt the HTTPS data being sent by you and see exactly what youre doing on the page. Its convenient for some people as CF can mirror your page on their servers around the world, but at the same time you are trusting one of the largest tech organizations not to sell you out to a company or government.
