## Who are we?
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`CrimeFlarE` is a group of volunteer Tor, privacy and net neutrality
 | 
			
		||||
enthusiasts working to counter CloudFlare’s oppressive attack on the Tor 
 | 
			
		||||
community and reduce the harms CloudFlare brings to all users (Tor users and 
 |

clearnet users).

## Who is Cloudflare?
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Cloudflare is the world's largest man-in-the-middle proxy. This means that it 
 | 
			
		||||
sits between you and the server which sent you the pages and images.

### Privacy problems
 |

#### Single point of failure
 |

Cloudflare goes down from time to time. All the content which uses Cloudflare

goes down as well when that happens.

#### It removes anonymity
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Cloudflare usually blocks Tor or makes it hard for Tor users to access the 
 | 
			
		||||
website or content. Tor is not only for criminals. It is important for many 
 | 
			
		||||
people and everyone has the right on privacy.

#### Project Honey Pot
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Project Honey Pot is a project which collects a lot of personal data
 | 
			
		||||
and much of that data is from innocent people who deserve privacy.
 | 
			
		||||
Cloudflare was created by people who worked on that project.

Cloudflare is not convenient for many visitors of your site. You will
 |

lose visitors when you choose Cloudflare. Many people who helped writing

There are other problems as well, but we want to keep this file simple.

We created a

[file with Cloudflare alternatives](../subfiles/cloudflare-alternatives.md)

to make your life easier if you agree with us.
