What would the Internet's architecture have to look like for DDOS'ing to be a thing of the past, and therefore Cloudflare to not be needed? I know there are solutions like IPFS out there for doing distributed/decentralised static content distribution, but that seems like only part of the problem. There are obviously more types of operation that occur via the network -- e.g. transactions with single remote pieces of e…

How did we get to a place where either Cloudflare or AWS having an outage means a large part of the web going down? This centralization is very worrying.

The technical term for it is a man in the middle. It’s better to call it what it is that way you aren’t fooled into thinking it’s not, because it is.
