I don’t think there is a valid reason to this. I mean they offer several other services as well. But I think many, many people use it instead of other web application firewalls, because Cloudflare are good snake-oil salesmen and everyone else is using it too, so it must be valid. And there is a free tier, and nobody cares giving away their and their customer’s private data and introducing one big single point of failure to the internet…
It amazing how every fucking service needs Cloudflare connection on top…
I know there is a valid reason for this… Allegedly but it surely would make it easy for a threat actor to correlate your actions
