I assume you are referring to Tor? We love Tor and the specific things we block by default are resource consumption bots. If people enable. "I Am Under Attack" mode , I think there is some incidental interstitial challenge for Tor, but not blocked.

We don't comment on our customers unless they authorize us to, but based on the list of public ones, I would be pretty comfortable, even if I didn't work there.

Anyone here can test nilved's claim easily enough. Just visit Hacker News using Tor or a VPN, since the site uses Cloudflare.

Side note: Your announcement is really exciting.

No, (a) not all exit nodes and VPN IPs are effected (b) not all servers have that option enabled. I use Tor and am very frequently blocked from using reddit, imgur and other sites because of it.

Honestly the bot detection stuff in production today isn't the most awesome version of that feature possible, and improving it (especially to work with tor and vpns) is a priority, but not the highest. Cloudflare is paying for me to be at DefCon right now to launch an open source firewall / evasion tool (plug able transports to the next level) in 2 days, with the grugq, so it isn't like we are opposed to tor or anything.
