I’m using CloudFlare to hide my home IP and to reduce traffic from clankers. However, I’m using the free tier, so how am I the product? What am I sacrificing? Is there another way to do the above without selling my digital soul?

    All these answers are wrong. If you use cloudflare you’re giving them all your data unencrypted as that’s how reverse proxying for them works.

      I mean, in certain circumstances sure. But all it would take is a whisper of proof that they abused this position to destroy their business model.
