Please do not put Cloudflare in front of your site. It makes it impossible for tor and VPN users to view your site since they have to solve an impossible captcha to even see the static content.

It's possible to turn off security in the CloudFlare control panel. I think the bigger issue is that CloudFlare has become a single point of interception for MITM'ing huge portions of web traffic.

I'm not sure, but I think CloudFlare will still hit Tor users with (unsolvable) captchas even with the lowest security settings.

But yeah, this NSA slide is extremely relevant to cloudflare: http://cdn01.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06...

That is correct. I have not been able to get passed a Cloudflare captcha over tor for any website.
