> With a single resolver, I can verify that they're trustworthy enough [for me], just once, and direct all my traffic to it. Apply this deceptively simple principle to every need you have on our wonderfully decentralized Internet and see where that gets us. Oh snap. Not so decentralized anymore.

I'm talking about DNS and nothing else. Okay, say, 1 year from now, somehow, 95% of internet users are sending their DNS queries to Cloudflare. What can go wrong? Malicious or not. Not rhetorical, actually curious.

Internet-wide censorship is now 1 US court order way. Compared to ... say 200,000 court orders away.

Centralizing things, makes it easy for law-makers to enforce bad policy which technology otherwise would have side-stepped.

Welp glad to know I was trying to dig www.pornhub.com on my work network.

Worse than that, you were running scripts without knowing what they do

I used to teach people not to pipe curl to bash. Now I just add sudo -n tests to my scripts and see if they have passwordless sudo. It turns out, a lot of people have passwordless sudo.

The actual domain name is https://cloudflare-dns.com/ (found by inspecting the cert) Before SNI, every cert had to go to a static public IP address. Everything between you and the TLS terminator had to handle this. As a side-effect, you didn't actually need to know the domain name to get the tunnel, because everything handling the packets was running on the destination IP. tl;dr: Trickery based on dated TLS quirks.

That works fine (the URL directly). The certificate is valid. Entering https://1.1.1.1 doesn't, but shows the same certificate. Don't really understand what's happening here. Anyway thanks for the info there.

How odd. What browser are you using? It appears to be deviating from spec.
