This should really be a high priority service with dedicated admins.

If hosting fund raisers we need near 100% uptime.

Also using cloudflare is a bad idea as it centralizes web traffic.

      Come to think of it, any CDN may have the same problem (MitM-ness etc). Not sure. Considering alternative options is good in general, though. What I hate about CF is indiscriminate Tor blocking. Tor is also used as a humanitarian tool, helping various vulnerable users (like those who live in an oppressive country with heavy Internet censorship). Blocking it is like collaborating with oppressive regimes.

        Not like, it actually IS.

        It wouldn’t surprise me in the least to find out that CF operate quite a few Tor entries.

        Any alternative is worth supporting.

      A privacy-centric hosting company having in-house DDOS-protection would be ideal? This basedflare thing may be better than CF, though it feels exactly like CF for me an end user. Their error message is unhelpful too:

      Verifying your connection to basedflare.com This process is automatic, please wait a moment… Error: Browser does not support WebAssembly.

      A more-friendly error message would be: Use the “Standard” Security Level in Tor Browser; “Safer” “Safest” wouldn’t work for this. (Brave Search actually says something like that, nice to Tor users, though I seldom use Brave Search…)

        I literally came across basedFlare yesterday so no direct experience with it, though that error looks like a typical cloudflare error.

        as for wasm compatability, the tor security-slider takes care of that as you suggest.
