what I just paid 20/month for the SSL....

Update: I have another concern I just found out.

For example, I do a lot of web scraping through my domain and I see that I was automatically opted in to use https://www.cloudflare.com/apps/scrapeshield, something that is supposed to block scraping.

There's a huge conflict of interest if it turns out that the cloudflare network actively aims to help block scraping.

I know you guys said you will be on the neutral side but if the cloudflare is helping Scrapeshield become more intelligent about scraping by monitoring my scraping actions, I really don't know if it's wise to stay with cloudflare, as much as I love it.

Scrapeshield is a CloudFlare feature. If you don't want it, turn it off. Here's the announcement from when we launched the feature:

We'll be adding some cool new features to our paid plans at the same time, so I hope you'll decide to continue paying us the $20.

Good to hear - I just signed up and put in the $20 myself (not a very large barrier), and I'm glad features like custom certificates (& other things) will be available as mentioned elsewhere in this thread. CloudFlare seems like a great product so far.

I don't get it. A domain is just an address, how can you scrape through your domain? Do you mean server? But scrapping is an outbound connection, how could they monitor it?
