I have downvoted because despite having 1st World passport I had experienced traveling a lot in SE Asia how Cloudflare blocks (sorry protects) 1/3 of websites.

Browsing from a cafe, using VPN results in almost every attempt of following link from HackerNews in solving endless captchas. It is like being harrassed on the border control just because you have the wrong passport.

Saddly many of the sites "protected" by Cloudflare are interesting personal sites owned by honest people who had been scared about dangers of traffic from bad places.

Cloudflare is running internet protection racket Al Capone style.
