I recently stumbled across Cludflares trustpilot page and the reviews were completely mismatched from the way I have experienced people talk about them on forums. The reviews on trustpilot make them sound awful, but I have only seen recommendations for them on forums, often people say they are the best DNS provider.
Whats up with that? Does anyone know why there is such a disparity.
They’re not only a centralised point of failure, but also a man-in-the-middle for so many sites that they can effectively track people all over the internet through web and DNS requests, and even read people’s HTTPS traffic.
I consider them a hostile actor.
Yup. One of the vestiges of corporate internet. I tried to make a less ideological argument for wider appeal but I absolutely agree with you.
