This should really be a high priority service with dedicated admins.

If hosting fund raisers we need near 100% uptime.

Also using cloudflare is a bad idea as it centralizes web traffic.

Also, look into evaluating https://basedflare.com/# as an alternative to cloudflare.

A privacy-centric hosting company having in-house DDOS-protection would be ideal? This basedflare thing may be better than CF, though it feels exactly like CF for me an end user. Their error message is unhelpful too:

Verifying your connection to basedflare.com This process is automatic, please wait a moment... Error: Browser does not support WebAssembly.

A more-friendly error message would be: Use the “Standard” Security Level in Tor Browser; “Safer” “Safest” wouldn’t work for this. (Brave Search actually says something like that, nice to Tor users, though I seldom use Brave Search…)

@Saki

I literally came across basedFlare yesterday so no direct experience with it, though that error looks like a typical cloudflare error.

as for wasm compatability, the tor security-slider takes care of that as you suggest.

Come to think of it, any CDN may have the same problem (MitM-ness etc). Not sure. Considering alternative options is good in general, though. What I hate about CF is indiscriminate Tor blocking. Tor is also used as a humanitarian tool, helping various vulnerable users (like those who live in an oppressive country with heavy Internet censorship). Blocking it is like collaborating with oppressive regimes.

> Blocking it is like collaborating with oppressive regimes.

Not like, it actually IS.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out that CF operate quite a few Tor entries.

Any alternative is worth supporting.
