A new form of state-level internet filtering that restricts data flow is disrupting access to large portions of the global web for Russian citizens. Cloudflare, the world leader in DDoS protection and high-traffic load management, is being targeted by these new data caps, which appear designed to push users toward Russian-controlled services. Meanwhile, the move leaves Russian businesses dangerously exposed.
Its an endless arms race. Next will be chunking vpns that chunk requests down to 16kb packets and reassemble on the other end. There is nothing stopping a custom protocol from working around this limitation, in a safe secure manner.
Just a matter of time.
it’s about time someone fuckin did it.
it’s a shame it’s Russia though.
What are you even talking about?
cloudflare is a symptom of the corporatization of the internet.
they goals are counter to the goals of the internet to be a distributed repository of communities and information.
CF not only unifies all the communications through their services, which can cause worldwide outages (happens literally every year), but collects and tracks users across all other network requests.
CF is anti-privacy and pro-corporate interests.
That clarifies it, thanks
