This is awesome to hear, and for all of the criticism Cloudflare has gotten in the past, they have spoken loudly against censorship, not just for people they like, but those they dislike as well. I'd much rather point my DNS at them than Google, an ad company where tracking is the whole business model.

Really? Didn't the CEO kick stormfront off Cloudflare because they thought they were assholes?

There are still plenty of assholes using CloudFlare.

The concerning thing about this is that internet is increasingly dependent on Cloudflare, making it a single point of failure and exploitation. Somehow, people are not talking much about it, but a significant amount of sites have opted in for Cloudflare proxying, allowing it to see the traffic in plain text, while the visitors are made to believe that the connection is secure. Similarly, users will now use their fast DNS server, which is also advertised as more secure.

Do Cloudflare websites work from TOR then?

It appears they put a lot of work into how to handle Tor without being extremely frustrating: https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-trouble-with-tor/

Up to the website operator.

Cloudflare actually went out of their way to make it easy to whitelist Tor IPs that would generally get automatictly blacklisted for abuse.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Specifically, the Cloudflare CEO kicked the Daily Stormer off of Cloudflare because the Daily Stormer had been suggesting that Cloudflare secretly supported them/their politics: https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-terminated-daily-stormer/ Had the Daily Stormer folks kept their mouths shut, they probably would've been fine. And then Cloudflare continues on to describe why they don't think companies should censor conte…

Ah yes. There’s nothing to censor if you keep your mouth shut ;)

Well crap. I was used to going to 1.1.1.1 on my cellphone when on wireless APs that tried to redirect you an agreement page. Now there is a valid cert/website at that address. Guess I'll have to pick a new one.

example.org works well

neverssl.com is probably what you're looking for.

I think he wants to make sure they do this at the DNS level.
