Is this in X-Forwarded-For?
CF-Connecting-IP is what we recommend using. See https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170986-H... for details.
>TCP, the foundational protocol of the Internet, was never designed for a mobile environment. Amusingly, this is actually not true. TCP was originally developed to run on an inter-network over two networks: the ARPANET which has the reliability characteristics of a "traditional" network, and an extremely mobile network with lots of packet loss: ship-to-ship packet radio. TCP today seems very poorly suited for the mob…
In fact, I'd argue that it is a good fit even today. What wasn't designed for mobile is the Http protocol. HTTP2 solves most of the problems with mobile without changing out TCP. QUIC provides a few benefits, but by and large not many.
193 Comments and No one has asked yet. How do they make money? So, the price plan and extras from Business, Professional and Enterprise CDN is enough to cover all the cost of running the network + free tier CDN + Domain Registration Operation + DNS + Free tier VPN? There is a reason why I am using Apple. Their interest is in me using iPhone or Apple devices with a very decent profits margin, and hopefully up sell me…

Cloudflare pushed out free TLS years before Let's Encrypt and we are actively working on and supporting QUIC and HTTP/3. But QUIC/HTTP/3 aren't here today, not everyone is using HTTPS and there are other worries in coffee shops etc. hence a VPN service makes sense.
There is a bit of a difference between LetsEncrypt and Cloudflare TLS termination though... one is TLS for everyone, the other is TLS for Cloudflare customers (paying or not). For instance can an Iranian website use Cloudflare TLS? I would wager not. (ironic as they probably need secure transport the most). I'm not saying Cloudflare isn't doing good things for the Internet but it's a bit disingenuous to equate the 2…
I believe CF is working on LetsEncrypt certificates, at least based on letsencrypt.org being included in the 'automatic' CAA records[1].

There goes me and my co-founder's plan of disrupting the Mobile VPN market. Or may be, we still have a chance? Anywho, congratulations Cloudflare! I long held an opinion that the VPN market was ripe for disruption when I looked at privacy policy of some of the top players. Having analysed the market, I find that its defragmented with no clear run-away winner. I hope you're able to make a headway with all the interest…
Email me: matthewatcloudflaredotcom. Perhaps you and your cofounder can help build your vision within Cloudflare? I'd love to chat.

> So basically Cloudflare created an app with Cloudflare branding and set up a Wireguard server for everyone. Not just one -- servers in 175 (and growing) locations spread around the world, and the app will always use the closest one to you. That's arguably a lot more important that what protocol it uses, and is not something you could easily DIY.
I mean, for DIY you only need one because you're only one user . Pick a VPS host with a data center near you... done.
I've been using Tor as a privacy-friendly VPN, so Cloudflare getting into this business will make it feel a bit different, every time I see an error Web page that says Cloudflare is blocking a Tor exit node from viewing a page that Cloudflare hosts.
Perhaps Cloudflare could figure out how to block competitor Tor less (even if there's abuse coming in through Tor)? That might be difficult, but an excellent show of good faith.

My biggest concern with any VPN is: do I trust you? I’ve been reluctant to sign up with any of these VPN services that seem to be advertising everywhere nowadays because I don’t know what they’ll do with my internet traffic. The CloudFlare VPN is interesting to me because they’re a large, established company with a good reputation, so I trust them more than TunnelBear or ExpressVPN or PIA or whoever’s sponsoring YouT…
I'm not aware of any subpoenas directed at Cloudflare that was equally as useless.
