I’m no expert but using Cloudflare for your piracy feels like a bold move. A stupid move, but bold.
All the big pirate sites use them though. Even private ones like TL. If they don’t they get DDOSed. They all turned it on over the past year or so after being badly attacked.
By whom and why would the sites get DDOSed if they didn’t use Cloudflare? Am I wrong to assume that internet traffic is just as trackable for the internet provider if the server traffic first visits Cloudflare vs just using whatever the provider…uhhh…provides?
Mind you, while I can follow a logical argument, most stuff concerning networks like the internet still feels like magic to me for the most part. We use Cloudflare because, after reading up on it a little bit, I got the notion that it would likely improve our connection speed and especially the loading speed of my gf’s webtoon sites. But that’s about the extent of my knowledge.
They still get DDOS’ed now, but Cloudflare stops it before it can reach their own servers.
Okay but they used Cloudflare’s CDN. As in, the pirated content was on Cloudflare’s servers. That’s a bold move, in my book.
Was it DDL or torrents? Also a Discord? Really?
DDL and for discord is totally private unless special invitation. But, now the discord is totally barren.
