# CrimeFlarE
***Why you should say "No" to Cloudflare***


## Self-hosting
Self-hosting often works great, but it requires some effort to setup. It is 
more aimed at technical people.

We might create a guide for some self-hosting basics which don't require Cloudflare.
[IPFS](https://ipfs.io/) may be worth consideration if performance is the main concern.


## Alternatives
| Alternative       | Drawback                          | Price | Link |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------- | ------ | ---- |
| [eQualitie](https://equalit.ie/) | not gratis | gratis during COVID19 | https://equalit.ie/ |
| [sucuri](https://sucuri.net) | not gratis; tor hostility at ~3.483% | $200+ | https://sucuri.net/|
| PerimeterX        | not gratis                        | ? | - |
| Github pages      | uses Microsoft servers            | Free | https://pages.github.com/ (WARNING: Tor/VPN users will get their [account blocked automatically](https://github.com/crimeflare/cloudflare-tor) by Github) |
| Codeberg pages    | no custom domain support; tor hostility | Free | https://pages.codeberg.org/ |
| Surge.sh      | uses custom servers           | Free | https://surge.sh/ |

## Not researched yet
### CDNJS
CDNJS is sponsored by Cloudflare. It might use it in the background.

## Why X is not included
| X       | Reason |
| ------- | ------ |
| Netlify | Uses Amazon AWS which is also a content delivery network. It would be hypocritical to include it. |
| Siteground | Tor-hostile people. |
| Imperva | Uses Cloudflare. |
| jsDelivr | Uses Cloudflare, see their [network page](https://www.jsdelivr.com/network) |
| Gitlab pages      | GitLab is now Cloudflared |

## History
Sucuri and eQualitie have a history of CloudFlare patronage, but no longer.

added eQualitie as an alternative The eQualitie site itself (equalit.ie) was a CloudFlare site. Very recently it's not. We should pay attention in case their current state is temporary, but for the moment they seem decent. 2020-06-30 14:28:13 +00:00			`\| [eQualitie](https://equalit.ie/) \| not gratis \| gratis during COVID19 \| https://equalit.ie/ \|`
Impurva moved to top table Impurva is apparently no worse than Sucuri. I'm not sure what threshhold of Tor blocking is acceptible. Perhaps we should consider <5% acceptible since it would likely reflect figures of genuinely malicious Tor users. 2020-06-30 14:39:11 +00:00			`\| [sucuri](https://sucuri.net) \| not gratis; tor hostility at ~3.483% \| $200+ \| https://sucuri.net/\|`
