On port 80 that makes sense, but is the actual relay on port 80? Or is it a web API? If the latter then I am not surprised they chose to put CloudFlare on top of it.

I see a JSON error straight on HTTPS. Must be an API directly.

But HTTPS is 443, not 80.

The fact that Cloudflare was privy to all Ethereum ecosystem communication with flashbots gives me the heebie jeebies.

Yeah had a bit of a brainfart there about port I really just meant presence on the web…
Domains resolve to the same IP disregarding port number.
Unless you have the really expensive TCP proxy from CloudFlare it is typically only used on web protocols.
Yeah, I kept thinking about it after writing my comment ...

"Well, but maybe if you ..."

But I've never seen it in the wild.
